Full-time: Arsenal move level on points with fourth-placed West Ham as they inflict more misery on basement side Newcastle whose winless run extends to 13 games.
Martinelli - who looks like has hurt his jaw - is up and will be fit to continue for the last couple of minutes.
Four minutes will be added on here.
Tomiyasu threads it through to Martinelli, who takes a tumble inside the box under pressure from Lascelles. He requires treatment but Arsenal aren't going to get a penalty.
A late change for Newcastle as Isaac Hayden replaces Shelvey.

Chances! Lacazette has the ball taken from him by Dubravka. Good goalkeeping. Moments later, Newcastle break down the opposite end but Saint-Maximin can't beat Ramsdale from a tight angle.
Mohamed Elneny comes on for Partey.

Shot! Willock finds space for a shot against his former club but can't test Ramsdale as the Arsenal goalkeeper makes a comfortable save.
A quick counter-attack from Arsenal as Martinelli finds Lacazette but from a tight angle he can only shoot into the side-netting.
The tempo of the game has dropped somewhat and it looks very unlikely Newcastle will pull off a comeback for a second straight weekend.
It's Aubameyang's last involvement as he's replaced by Alexandre Lacazette.

Martinelli then scored Arsenal's second!
Saka celebrates his opener...
Newcastle come forward with intent as Murphy receives the ball on the right. He tries to pick out a team mate at the far post but his cross has too much pace and goes out harmlessly for a goal-kick.
Another chance for Arsenal! Newcastle commit bodies forward they're leaving spaces in behind at the back. Smith Rowe threads a pass into the feet of Aubameyang but Dubravka is out quickly to block his shot.
And Miguel Almiron is on for Joelinton.

GOAL! Arsenal 2-0 Newcastle (Gabriel Martinelli): Just two minutes after he's come on, Martinelli scores - with his first touch! Tomiyasu plays him in, Martinelli allows the ball to drop over his shoulder and he lifts it over the on-rushing Dubravka into the corner of the net!
Goal
G. Martinelli
Wilson is played in with a lovely ball over the top. He's fast but Tavares is equally as pacy and the Arsenal defender does brilliantly to make the challenge. Newcastle want a penalty - no chance.
