Events
Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Arsenal FC and Newcastle United FC is underway.
- 5' Newcastle United FC is showing some good football. However, Newcastle United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 10' Arsenal FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 15' Arsenal FC have won 748 goals from 428 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 20' It looks like no one’s ball. Newcastle United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Salomon Rondon made 349 appearances and scored 17 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 30' Aaron Ramsey makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Arsenal FC are in front.
- 35' Ainsley Maitland-Niles needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 40' The 33-year-old Sead Kolasinac has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
- 45' DeAndre Yedlin, a USA , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 50' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 55' Arsenal FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 55.
- 59' That is a Yellow card for Arsenal FC. Nacho Monreal will be fuming at that decision.
- 61' Arsenal FC ring the changes. Alex Iwobi has done his job and it is now time for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to step up.

- 75' The Newcastle United FC manager makes a substitution. Matt Ritchie departs to be replaced by Kenedy.
- 77' Time for substitution for Newcastle United FC. Ayoze Perez is replaced by Yoshinori Muto.
- 82' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Sokratis Papastathopoulos suffering a number of foals already.
- 83' The deadlock is broken! Alexandre Lacazette gets on the scoresheet on 83 minutes.
- 84' A tactical swap from Arsenal FC — Henrikh Mkhitaryan on, Mesut Ozil off on 84 minutes.
