Newcastle vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League latest scores and updates after Alexander Isak’s goal

Havertz passed it straight to Lewis Hall and the home side had it again, before Merino caught Guimaraes in the center circle. The Spaniard was given his second yellow card of the game.

Trossard was sent off and later conceded a foul on the edge of the Newcastle box. That sums up the day so far.

Now Newcastle win a corner after Longstaff’s cross goes behind. Once again, the set-piece was too much, and this time Arsenal broke and won a free-kick.

A half-chance for Arsenal as Livramento broke away and Martinelli struck before feeding a fine pass to the overlapping Trossard. Dan Burn was able to get in before the Belgian could take a clean shot, and Arsenal won a corner.

Arsenal brought a man forward but the flag was raised for offside. They must have lost Martin Odegaard today.

Arteta has yet to give a timeline for the Norwegian’s return, but says it will be ‘soon’.

It was Newcastle with the first notable attack in the second half, they were flying forward and Gordon fed the ball into the path of Willock. The former Arsenal man can only aim directly at Raya.

The away side asks us to start for the second half! There is a lot to do for both sides here.

The team returned for the second round. Arsenal will have to change something if they are to return to north London with points.

The Gunners came out early for the second half, but there was no change from Mikel Arteta.

Richard Jolly in St. James:

A good first half for Newcastle so far. A worrying aspect for Arsenal was the lack of threat, apart from one of Mikel Merino’s shots which was blocked by Lewis Hall with his back.

So far, Eddie Howe’s game plan of filling in with the toughest labor available has paid off. Meanwhile, Arsenal fans started singing about winning the Premier League. Which, unless they can turn this game around, looks increasingly difficult.
