End of match

90'FT: Newcastle 0-2 Arsenal. Clinical performance from the Gunners who take what seemed like two of their very few chances. Newcastle probably deserved something out of the game and it's certainly a scoreline which flatters Arteta's men. Arsenal still second but close gap on City, Newcastle remain 3rd but open door for United to overtake them.
