 VAR and referee errors Botman 18' minutes controversial own goal suppose to be rule out. 

Yet another set-piece goal for Arsenal! Although this one will go down as an OG from Botman. 

Karius actually makes a fine save initially, parrying Gabriel's towering header from Saka's corner, but the ball bounces out and it's a real mess as it deflects over the line off the knee of Botman, who was lying prone on the ground.

GOAL! Arsenal 2-0 Newcastle (Havertz, 24)

What a start for Arsenal! Newcastle are being blown away.

Jorginho lifts a ball over the top for Martinelli, who is making a diagonal run from left to right.

The Brazilian does really well to cut the ball back into the danger zone, and Havertz anticipates it perfectly to slide home from close range.

Static defending from Newcastle. Clinical from Arsenal. This could get ugly for the visitors.

Arsenal's pressure tells!

GOAL! Arsenal 3-0 Newcastle (Saka, 65)

Saka finds the net for the fifth game in a row and it's a superb strike. It comes from the right-hand side of the box, where he cuts inside and unleashes a low, diagonal effort which flies through a crowd of bodies and finds the corner.

His stunning season continues. The goal came about from a slack Botman pass which was intercepted near the halfway line by Havertz. From there, it's just clinical from Arsenal, as they work it forward and let Saka do the rest. They are out of sight now.GOAL! Arsenal 4-0 Newcastle (Kiwior, 69)

It's a rout now! Yet another set-piece goal from Arsenal as Rice's excellent corner is flicked on by Kiwior at the near post and whistles into the net via a slight deflection off Miley. One for the dubious goals panel, maybe, but for now it's Kiwior's.

Down in the Arsenal technical area, Arsenal's set-piece coach Nicolas Jover is mobbed in celebration!
