Newcastle United vs Arsenal at Stadion.Core.ViewModels.Matchday.LocationViewModel

The fourth official has indicated three minutes of additional time.

It is all Arsenal possession at the moment as Newcastle get everybody behind the ball to see out what would be an impressive win. The Gunners seem short of ideas to break down the Magpies.

Arsenal work the ball around the edge of the box but can't find a way through. It drops to Iwobi inside the D but his effort is quickly blocked. Time is running out for the Gunners.

Arsenal have the quality in their squad to find an equaliser but it is hard to see it coming at the moment. They have been well marshalled by this Newcastle defence and have not troubled Dubravka at all in the Newcastle goal.

Good link up play between Aubameyang and Lacazette inside the Newcastle box looks to have created chance but Mohamed Diame pinches the ball from the feet of Lacazette before the striker can get his shot away.

Newcastle come forward on the counter after a spell of Arsenal pressure but Perez's touch is too heavy, allowing Holding to race across and clear the ball.

Iwobi tries to find Lacazette inside the box but it is blocked by a defender. It falls back into the path of the Arsenal midfielder though and he tries his luck towards the near post, but it is just wide.

Arsenal clear a cross to the edge of the box and it bobbles its way to Ritchie on the right. He takes a touch to come inside before unleashing a dipping effort. Too high though, over the bar.

The volume in St. James' Park rises as Gayle runs at the Arsenal defence. He runs out of room though and can only find a blue shirt with his pass. Better from the Magpies though, who haven't really offered anything in this second half going forward.

Arsenal look to work something down the right wing but find themselves crowded out by Newcastle shirts. They play the ball back towards the halfway line instead, giving Newcastle time to push out. That has summed up how this second half has gone so far. 

Arsenal have enjoyed almost 77% of the possession in the second half so far, but have not cause the Newcastle defence any problems at all. Benitez will certainly be the happier of the two managers at the moment.

Still neither side can find much joy in attack in these opening stages. Perez tries on two occassions to sprint at the Arsenal defence on the counter attack but he is comfortably dealt with by the Gunners' back three.

Neither side have settled into much of a rythm in these opening minutes. Arsenal are enjoying more of the possession but it is all in and around the midfield area. 

Arsenal get the game back underway, kicking right to left.

The fourth official has indicated one minute of additional time.

Shelvey's passing range is causing plenty of problems for Arsenal. He finds the run of Gayle once again inside the Arsenal box but the Newcastle forward is unable to get on the end of it in time.

Arsenal stretch Newcastle as they come forward with pace. Lacazette tries to find Aubameyang inside the box but the pass has just a little too much pace on it and goes harmlessly out of play. 

Close! Aubameyang's shot from the free kick is straight into the wall. Xhaka picks up the rebound and chips the ball towards a far post, where it is fired across the face of goal for Chambers. The left-back gets his foot to it but he can only fire it over the crossbar. 

Arsenal with a free-kick just outside the box after Lejeune brings down Iwobi. A good shooting opportunity for the Gunners, very central.

Most of Arsenal's attacks have come through Aubameyang and Nacho Monreal on the left wing. It is the right-back this time who tries to whip in a cross but there is no one there to meet it. Chambers tries a first-time volley from the clearance but it is an easy claim for Dubravka.

Credit to Newcastle who have continued to look confident and determined despite going a goal behind. They have stuck to their game plan and it paid off for them with that goal. 

Close! Some good one-touch stuff from Arsenal in the attacking half and it almost results in an own goal. Chambers' low cross across the face of goal is poked just narrowly wide of the near post by Florian Lejeune. He didn't make clean contact though, the defender will be relieved to see that roll wide.

Newcastle try to work something outside the Arsenal box but are unable to find any way through. Arsenal attempt to catch them on the break through Aubameyang but Shelvey does brilliantly to race back and pinch the ball away from the Gunners' forward.

Not bad from Iwobi. A throw in from the left is flicked into feet of the midfielder inside the Newcastle box. He is swarmed by black and white shirts but somehow still finds space to shoot. His low effort is straight at Martin Dubravka though, who read it well.

It looks like Arsenal are starting to find the cracks in this Newcastle defence now. Cech quickly plays the ball out and it pays off, with Arsenal finding themselves in a 3v2 situation. Aubameyang has the ball on the left wing but opts to cut inside and try to go for goal himself, spurning it just over the crossbar. The warning signs are there for Newcastle though.

A lofted pass from the back suddenly puts Newcastle on the front foot. Arsenal race back quickly in numbers and Matt Ritchie's cross is easily cleared in the end. Neither goalkeeper has been made to work so far.

A pass straight through the centre of midfield by Jonjo Shelvey finds Kenedy just outside the box. The Chelsea loanee spins to find himself with plenty of space but his powerful low drive can only fly wide of the right post. 

A decent start from the Magpies as they contain Arsenal well. They are pressing the Gunners quickly when they reach the final third and trying to break on the counter attack when they do recover possession. 

Some good footwork on the left wing by Aubameyang sets Arsenal on their way. The ball finds its way to Alexandre Lacazette on the edge of the box who drifts into a bit of space before dragging a low effort wide of the left post. 

Newcastle get the game underway, kicking right to left. The home side are in their usual black and white stripes while Arsenal are in all blue.
