90+3 mins: Cross after cross comes into the box from both sides of the pitch but Newcastle’s centre-backs are holding firm. They’ve played more than half of the added time but still have work to do to get this result confirmed.

90 mins: Five minutes of added time to play. That seems like a lot, there haven’t been many stoppages in this this. Regardless it’s more than enough time for Arsenal to get their goal.

Can they do it?

87 mins: Jorginho takes a shot from the edge of the box and curls a decent effort just wide of the far post. Arsenal are coming closer but they’ve yet to break through Newcastle’s defences.

84 mins: Martin Dubravka takes as long as it is possible before restarting the match from a goal kick. Newcastle are employing plenty of football’s dark arts to keep Arsenal at bay.

Gabriel Jesus is punished for a nudge on Tonali. Free kick Newcastle.

81 mins: Jorginho chips a pass into the box and finds Kai Havertz. Havertz then dinks the ball into the six yard area on the stretch and hopes to find Gabriel Jesus but only ends up giving the ball to Maritn Dubravka.

78 mins: Newcastle are content with their cushion. They’re are fully focused on making sure Arsenal don’t score meaning there’s an edge to the end of this game.

The Gunners are playing entirely in Newcastle’s half now.

75 mins: 15 minutes to play and Arsenal are pressing intently. Lewis Hall does well to evade a couple of tackles before Joelinton wins a free kick with some fine hold up play.

Anthony Gordon is now replaced with Miguel Almiron and Newcastle eke out a few more seconds.

72 mins: Newcastle’s main issue now is that there’s no way out for them when they’re trying to play out from the back. Arsenal are quicker and sharper and there’s still a long time left in this game.

Arsenal will surely pull a goal back at this rate. Dubravka punches away another corner kick but Arsenal recover the ball immediately.

71 mins: A storming run from Declan Rice wins another corner for Arsenal. This cross is poor though and Rice hooks the ball straight into the side netting.

There’s a nervous energy around the stadium as Arsenal search for a goal. Newcastle are now set up with five players in defence, four in midfield and Gordon alone in the front line.

They’re holding on to what they’ve got.

68 mins: Howe’s changes mean Newcastle will be less adventrous. Anthony Gordon, who is on a yellow card, is now playing down the middle as the main target man.

Martinelli receives the ball for Arsenal and attacks from the left. He squares a pass into the box but Hall boots it clear despite the danger being minimal.
