Arsenal vs Newcastle United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Emirates Stadium
Follow live coverage as Arsenal face Newcastle United today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Arsenal vs Newcastle United
Gordon and Guimaraes work a one-two pass in midfield that gives the former the freedom of the left wing, but his eventual cross just ahead of the byline is put behind for a corner by Saliba.
Arsenal vs Newcastle United
Raya has made five saves in the opening 20 minutes of this game. Only against Manchester City in September has he made more saves in a Premier League game this season (nine).

TWO MORE SAVES FOR RAYA! Tonali’s inswinging corner is met at the near post by the physically imposing Burn, who manages to turn the ball towards goal from six yards away. Raya throws an arm to the header and pushes it away, only as far as Barnes, whose shot while falling is kicked away by the Arsenal goalkeeper!
Arsenal vs Newcastle United
GREAT REACTIONS! Barnes is allowed to carry the ball through the heart of Arsenal’s midfield without anyone in his way before he pulls a low, left-footed shot to the far corner. The effort takes a deflection off Saliba and looks to evade the outstretched arm of the goalkeeper, who manages to poke it behind for a corner with a second-effort stretch!
Arsenal vs Newcastle United
Arsenal’s latest corner-kick doesn’t go quite as well, with Trossard and Saka working a short routine to Odegaard, who blazes a left-footed effort high over the crossbar.

FANTASTIC SAVE! Saka flashes a flat corner into the six-yard box, where Partey’s glancing header is repelled at point-blank range by Pope, who lifts an arm to turn the ball behind for a second set-piece.

Trossard gets to the byline with the ball at his feet before cutting back with intent, leaving a Newcastle defender on the ground before rifling a left-footed effort that takes a deflection on its way behind for a corner.

Odegaard wraps his left foot around the ball to deliver a curling cross to the penalty spot, where Schar leaps above Martinelli to head it away.

Livramento gets to the edge of Arsenal’s 18-yard box and plays a pass towards the byline for Gordon, who uses a nifty backheel flick to return the ball to the wing-back. Without a second thought, he curls a first-time effort towards goal and looks to test Raya, who hangs on to the effort.
