End of 2nd Half
FT
Arsenal move up to third in the Premier League - for the first time in over two years!
Goals from Ramsey and Lacazette in either half puts the Gunners firmly in the driving seat for a Champions League place.
With seven games to go, four teams fighting for two spots, and three points separating them all, the race is well and truly on.

Laca likes the Emirates.

FOUR minutes added on...

'Are you watching Tottenham?' ask the Arsenal fans - the Gunners are set to go third this evening!
87'
Great run from Maitland-Niles and his cross is inches away from finding the out-stretched foot of Aubameyang. Arsenal in the mood to find a late third here...
NO GOAL! Again the ball is in the back of the net, but referee Anthony Taylor penalises Lacazette for a foul on the goalkeeper. A hint that the referee has signalled it was handball... but it was off the hand of Dubravka!
85'
And that is Ozil's evening over. A fine showing from the German - and the Arsenal fans serenade him as Mkhitaryan comes on to replace him.

WHAT A GOAL FROM LACAZETTE!
Arsenal's deadly duo combine! Just as the nerves were jangling, Lacazette lofts a ball into the air, which Aubameyang heads on for the Frenchman to chase, and it's a stunning lob to beat Dubravka.

OVER! It draws ironic cheers from the home fans, but it's as close as Newcastle have come this half, and in fact it's not that far away as Ki curls an effort just wide from distance.

Still it's Arsenal who look the more likely to score the game's second goal, but you just never know... it only takes one chance for Newcastle and the hosts' hard work is undone.

Final throw of the Newcastle dice.

Ritchie had a decent game for Newcastle to be fair, but off he goes for Kenedy as the visitors chase the game.

Now it's Kolasinac who goes in the book for protesting with the referee - about what I'm not quite sure!

Ozil has been able to turn on the style at a canter this evening, and he draws the foul from Diame who gets booked for his troubles.

20 minutes to go and it's just 1-0 to the Arsenal.
Arsenal just have to get over the line here, not always spectacular, but so far so good.
67'
Now it's Ramsey who is down and receiving some medical treatment - he's even given away the captain's armband so that could be that for him.
For Newcastle, here comes Ki for Hayden, while Elneny replaces Ramsey.

NO PENALTY! Lacazette is pleading for a penalty as Dummett slides in to block the cross - it ricochets onto the hand, but you can't give those...

Huge cheers as Aubameyang comes on - the striker will be out to chase down Aguero as the race for the Golden Boot hots up. He's on 17 - Aguero on 19 as it stands.

Here we go then. Iwobi off, Aubameyang on.

Poor tackle from Monreal on Perez - initially it looks quite a bad one but he appears to at least keep his studs facing away when he goes in to make the challenge.

Aubameyang receiving instructions from Emery on the sidelines - will be a welcome move as Arsenal look to kill this game off.
