Arsenal vs Newcastle United

1. 90'

   FULL TIME: Arsenal back in the form of last season, only without the goals. Great display from the Champions, who look determined not to give up their title without a fight.

2. 90'

   Toure cleans up at the back as Arsenal look to close out the game.

3. 88'

   Henry is back defending for Arsenal as Newcastle loft a ball in to the box. Moments later, the Frenchman breaks downfield but is tripped by Jenas. Yellow card.

4. 87'

   SUB: Fabregas on for Reyes. A defensive substitution from Wenger, but Reyes has played very well this afternoon and he is well appreciated by the home fans.

5. 86'

   Hughes and Bowyer combine to gift Arsenal a throw-in after Reyes had shown some skills on the left-wing.

6. 86'

   Anything less than an Arsenal victory would be an unjust result, but it's going to be a nervous finale for Arsenal as the visitors press.

7. 83'

   Bramble breaks up an Arsenal counter-attack with a foul on Reyes. The free-kick gives the home side the chance to re-gather themselves for the final minutes.

8. 82'

   Ameobi robs Flamini inside the Arsenal box but his low cross is put out for a corner by Toure, who has some rousing words for his team-mates.

9. 81'

   As Newcastle look to gamble and press for an equaliser, they're leaving plenty of space at the back for Henry, Reyes and Bergkamp to exploit.

10. 80'

    Newcastle have stuck to their task well, and could still force something from this game. They enjoy a rare attack, but it's snuffed out by a resolute home defence.

11. 79'

    Bowyer finds some space at the edge of the Arsenal box after beating Cole with a smart turn, but his shot is straight at Almunia. A reminder for Arsenal that they might need a second goal.

12. 78'

    Another Henry corner is glanced wide by Vieira, who had found some space in a crowded box.

13. 78'

    Souness has words on the sideline after a tough tackle from Toure on Shearer. An O'Brien slip almost lets in Bergkamp, but the defender recovers at the expense of another corner.

14. 77'

    Lauren drives towards the by-line but is hustled off the ball by Bernard.

15. 77'

    Reyes tracks back brilliantly to rob the ball from N'Zogbia. The Spaniard has played very well today.

16. 76'

    Reyes dances past a couple of players in the Newcastle box, finds Flamini with a short pass, but his shot is deflected over for another Arsenal corner. The pressure on the visitors' goal is incredible.

17. 75'

    Incredible save from Given, palming away Henry's shot on the turn from eight yards. Superb stuff from the Irish keeper. Henry is amazed that he isn't celebrating the end of his recent goal drought.

18. 74'

    Arsenal will be getting more than a little nervous at their inability to put this game to bed. Henry has missed two one-on-ones and a host of other chances.

19. 73'

    Vieira is booked, seemingly for a collection of recently fouls. He takes the decision with surprising good will.

20. 72'

    Another shocking miss from Henry, who fails to control the ball six yards out with only Given to beat. Cole then misses a sitter moments later.

21. 71'

    Henry is one-on-one with Given, throws himself over the keeper's dive and claims a penalty. Rightfully, Referee Dunn shakes his head.

22. 69'

    The home side are really starting to look good this afternoon. They enjoy a long spell of possession, without creating a chance.

23. 68'

    Pires prods a ball in to Henry, but his shot is blocked by a sprawling Hughes.

24. 67'

    SUB: Boumsong off with a hamstring injury, O'Brien on. Souness is forced in to a change he hadn't planned, and looks disappointed.

25. 66'

    Replays show that Given's save was actually brilliantly saved by Given.
