    Five minutes for Newcastle to rescue this game. Don't think I can remember Mat Ryan even making a save.

    The last roll of Steve Bruce's tactical dice. It has to be an attacking one and sees defender Ciaran Clark taken off for striker Dwight Gayle.

    Better! Joelinton causes a nuisance in the Arsenal penalty box and when a half clearance falls to Jonjo Shelvey, the Newcastle skipper thumps a fizzing shot into a Gunners body.

    Arsenal haven't really been put under any pressure at all. It's a real shame for Newcastle fans because the first half was really quite good and you think they can step it up in the second half. But it's been so insipid and they haven't really had a go.

    Heading towards the final 10 minutes of normal time at St James' Park. There have not been any obvious signs of attacking improvement from the hosts after the introduction of Joelinton.

    I have still not seen either team coach arrive.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 73 mins

    Newcastle 0-2 Arsenal

    Time is running out for Newcastle to salvage something. Maybe a double substitution will help turn the game around.

    Joelinton replaces Miguel Almiron at the top end of the pitch, with Fabian Schar also coming on for Federico Fernandez.

    Just when you think a corner is turned, Newcastle revert to type under Bruce. They'll stay up because Fulham bottled it. Bruce needs to go he's spent money and taken this team hugely backwards, no hope, no plan.

    Newcastle should be on the front foot now getting beat 0-2 is no worse than losing 0-1. Come on lads put your hearts into it.

    It's a brilliantly worked goal. The ball goes out to Xhaka on the left hand side and there was nice play from Aubameyang before, but he just leaves it and heads for the back post and there at the back post he gets on the end of his cushioned volley.

    It's a deserved 2-0 lead and the surprise is that Newcastle will go and make changes now that they should have made five minutes ago to give themselves some sort of chance. I know a lot of Newcastle fans get fed up with the lack of willingness to go and attack. Arsenal have never been put under any pressure and this game looks as if it could be gone

    Newcastle 0-2 Arsenal

    Newcastle look for a glimmer of hope with a free-kick into the box. Arsenal head clear and then launch a counter which ends in Hector Bellerin's shot being diverted wide for a corner.

    That's the danger now for Newcastle...

    GOAL - Newcastle 0-2 Arsenalpublished at 66 mins

    Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

    Who else for Arsenal against Newcastle? Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang grabs his customary goal against the Magpies with a flying, stretching volley at the far post.

    Lovely pick out from Gabriel Martinelli, who stays marginally onside to whip in an inch-perfect cross.

    Steve Bruce folds his arms and bows his head. Could be game over.

    While keeping one eye on the match at St James' Park, we're also trying to update you on the extraordinary scenes at Old Trafford.

    About 200 Manchester United fans broke on to the Old Trafford pitch to protest against the Glazer family's ownership of the club.

    And a journalist from The Athletic is reporting the game could be in jeopardy...
