  3. Arsenal move to just one point behind Tottenham Hotspur. Massive win for the Gunners.

  4. Arguments continue in the tunnel. Coaches try to get between the two Dutchmen.

  5. Arsenal become the first team in Premier League history to win four games in a row after falling behind.

  6. 90'

    <b>FULL TIME</b> Arsenal 2-1 Newcastle

  7. 90'

    Walcott attacks the full-back once more. Perch does well this time.

  8. 90'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> <b>Krul</b> Fair. Equally idiotic.

  9. 90'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> <b>Van Persie</b> Deserved. Stupidity.

  10. 90'

    Bust-up on the pitch now. Van Persie and Tim Krul exchanging words. Stupid from the two players, particularly the Arsenal skipper.

  11. 90'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> <b>Arsenal 2-1 Newcastle Vermaelen at the last!!!</b> For the fourth game in a row, Arsenal have come from behind. A quick counter sees the ball fly across the goal, bouncing out to Vermaelen who tucks it home.

  12. 90'

    Newcastle have the ball deep in Arsenal's half. Running down the clock at every opportunity.

  13. 90'

    On Walcott's hand-ball appeals - Correct decision. No hand-ball.

  14. 90'

    Koscielny is a lucky man. Clatters Cabaye, but recieves only a warning from Howard Webb. Could easily have been a second-yellow.

  15. 90'

    Walcott wants a handball. His shot deflected off Coloccini and went just wide of the post.

  16. 90'

    All hands to the pump for Newcastle. Clearing the ball at every opportunity.

  17. 90'

    Five minutes added time...

  18. 90'

    Alex Song stands a ball up at the back-post and Vermaelen gets a powerful header away. Brilliant save from Krul to tip over the bar.

  19. 89'

    Walcott gets in behind the left-back Perch once more, but his cross is headed clear by Williamson.

  20. 89'

    What can Arsenal muster then?

  21. 88'

    Terrible corner from Ben Arfa. Cleared at the near-post.

  22. 87'

    Well done Demba Ba. He buys his side time on the counter and wins a corner. Newcastle throw the big-men forward.

  23. 87'

    Ramsey gets a shot away from 20 yards, but deflected for a corner. All Arsenal now.

  24. 86'

    Newcastle looking very tired here. They will do well to hang-on until full-time

  25. 85'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> <b>Gutierrez</b> for a cynical foul on the touch-line.
