Tomiyasu 39' Tomiyasu does indeed make way, as Cedric comes on to replace him. 38' Tomiyasu is down clutching at his hamstring, and it doesn't look good for the Japanese defender.

48' Schar is still down, though he is now sat up. 47' Nketiah goes in the book for an aerial foul on Schar. The Swiss defender has come off badly here, and there's some concern. 46' The hosts get us back underway for the second period. It's a game that the Gunners really need to win, if they want to have their Champions League qualification destiny in their own hands in the last game of the season. How will Arteta go about trying to grab those all-important three points? The referee blows the whistle to end a goalless first half, and it's been an impressive opening period for the hosts.

Newcastle United v Arsenal Live Commentary & Result, 16/05/2022, Premier LeagueThanks for joining us for live coverage of Newcastle United's 2-0 win over Arsenal in the Premier League at St. James' Park. It's a disastrous result for Arsenal as they remain two points behind fourth-placed Tottenham, who would've put themselves in pole position for Champions League qualification with a win here. They will host Everton on the final day, but a win won't be enough if rivals Tottenham get at least a draw against already-relegated Norwich City due to the Gunners' inferior goal difference.
