| 7' | There was a lengthy VAR check after Gordon's pass over the top to Isak, but the Swedish striker was unable to keep himself onside. It must have been a matter of inches, but the goal has been disallowed. The Arsenal players breathe a sigh of relief. | Highlight |

- GOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLLL!!! 1-0 NEWCASTLE! Isak is played in behind the Arsenal defence and carries towards goal. He pulls the trigger from the edge, but it cannons off the post! It falls to Murphy inside the box, and he does superbly to fire into the back of the net! This time it will count!
