Newcastle United - Arsenal live updates

FULL TIME: Newcastle United 0-1 Arsenal

Despite the scoreline, Newcastle will be disappointed. The red card was a real turning point and the goal an unlucky deflection. Arsenal have created a few chances, but not as many as they should have.

Coloccini goes into the book for a strong tackle. His first booking of the season.

Arsenal win another free kick as three minutes of added time goes onto the clock.

Shot from Monreal from just inside the box is into the ground and saved by Krul.

Still a lack of urgency from Newcastle as Sanchez’s shot deflects off Janmaat and over the bar for a corner.

Cazorla hits it and not for the first time today, Krul is called into action to make the save.

Coquelin hits the deck after a challenge from Thauvin and Arsenal have a dangerous free kick. De Jong comes on for Thauvin.

Looks like de Jong about to be introduced to the action in place of Thauvin.

STAT: Coloccini's OG is the 45th PL own goal in favour of Arsenal. Only Man United (63) and Liverpool (54) have received more.

Ramsey moves over to the right hand side in this latest reshuffle.

Arsenal sub: Arteta on for Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Thauvin impeded and Newcastle do get a free kick in a dangerous area. Janmaat plays it in and it’s a good clearing header from Gabriel.

Now that Cisse is on, Newcastle must try and engineer one chance. Still only a goal behind.

Newcastle sub: Sissoko off, Cisse on.

Shot from Giroud on the edge of the box but straight at Krul, who saves easily.

Oxlade-Chamberlain forces another corner off Haidara. In it comes from Cazorla, knocked on from Giroud and out for another corner. Newcastle clear again.

As it stands, Arsenal would move up to seventh in the table. Newcastle currently 16th.

Arsenal on course for a much needed three points. Would be their second win of the season.
