Yahoo News Arsenal 2-0 Newcastle LIVE! FA Cup result, latest news and reaction after Smith Rowe and Aubameyang goals
Emile Smith-Rowe and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored in extra time as Mikel Arteta's side began their FA Cup defence with a hard-fought 2-0 victory over Newcastle United in the third round at Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
Substitute Smith-Rowe was initially shown a straight red in added time at the end of 90 minutes by referee Chris Kavanagh for a tackle on Matthew Longstaff before it was downgraded to a yellow card following a VAR review.
The 20-year-old midfielder went on the score the opener as he latched on to a ball from substitute Alexandre Lacazette inside the box before slipping it past Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka.
Aubameyang also found the net - tucking home Kieran Tierney’s cutback - from close range in the final minutes of extra time to extend Arsenal's winning run to four games in all competitions.
