Hello and welcome to LIVE coverage of Arsenal’s clash with Newcastle at the Emirates – two sides tied on 23 points in the Premier League.

Podolski sends a shot spinning wide of goal from distance. Plenty of pace on the shot, but wide of goal. We are into three minutes of time added on.

GOAL! Cazorla chips the ball down the middle as Alnwick headed off to his left. So, so cool. No chance for the Newcastle keeper. A 4-1 lead for Arsenal.

And it is going to be taken by Cazorla after a period of protesting by Dummett and Newcastle.

PENALTY TO ARSENAL! Dummett goes in late on Welbeck. And that is a penalty all day long.

Francis Coquelin takes over from Sanchez for the closing five minutes. Arsenal almost over the line.

Newcastle have a corner coming up. Thrown in by Colback. Headed out by Welbeck before a thumping effort from Tiote clears the bar by miles.

The home fans singing about Arsene Wenger. That is a nice change from the Arsenal fans. Tops the list of things you don't expect to hear in a football ground.

Coloccini complaining about something or other, but there is little doubt that he was late with the challenge on Welbeck.

Janmatt is the latest man to go in the book for a late challenge.

Arsenal dropping deep. Newcastle again move the ball around with some relish, but Tiote can't pick out a team-mate.

Arsenal have recorded one loss in their last 25 Premier League home matches; Manchester Utd on 22 Nov 2014 (2-1).

Coloccini doing extremely well to win the ball from Welbeck on the run. Had to get that right. And did. Otherwise it was 4-1.

Santi Cazorla netted on his 30th birthday – he is the first Arsenal player to score a Premier League goal on his birthday since Yossi Benayoun scored in the 3-3 home draw v Norwich in May 2012.

Cazorla with the pass looking for Bellerin, but his cross from his right is too heavy as the ball drifts straight out of play. Sanchez failing to keep the ball in play.

Alexis with a ball looking for Podolski, but straight into the arms of Alnwick. The Gunners knocking it about with some ease.

Arsenal would be only two points behind Manchester United in third place with a win here. Which looks likely as they keep the ball with some ease.
