Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of the FA Cup third round clash between Arsenal and Newcastle. Mikel Arteta's defending champions are heavy favourites to book their place in the fourth round of the competition having won their last three Premier League games. Steve Bruce, meanwhile, has been feeling the pressure since crashing out of the Carabao Cup to Brentford before Christmas, and although Premier League survival is Newcastle's priority, another cup defeat would only worsen the mood around St James' Park.

117'
GOAL! Arsenal 2-0 Newcastle (Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang): That will do it! It's brilliant from Tierney, who busts a gut to get on the end of Xhaka's pass. He lifts in into the middle to find Aubameyang, who finishes with a simple tap-in for another FA Cup goal for the Arsenal skipper.

GOAL! Arsenal 1-0 Newcastle (Emile Smith Rowe): The deadlock is finally broken! It's Smith Rowe, who thought he was sent off in normal time before the decision was overturned, who grabs what could be the winner! Arsenal win the ball in midfield and the youngster controls the ball beautifully before slotting it past Dubravka.

HT
HT: Half-time in extra-time. We have 15 minutes to find a winner. If not, we proceed to penalties.
103'
Really important block from Ritchie to deny Pepe's left-footed shot. There's still no way through for Arsenal!
100'
Arsenal's final ball has been lacking all day, and Saka now fires a cross straight into the gloves of Dubravka.
98'
No penalty! Aubameyang squeezes into the penalty area before going to ground after contact from Clark. You've seen them given but the referee waves away Arsenal's appeals.
97'
Fantastic defending from Luiz, who gets ahead of Carroll to clear Murphy's cross and deny Carroll.
96'
And from the resultant corner, Elneny drops his volley over the bar.
95'
Great save! Beautiful technique from Xhaka as he shoots first-time from the edge of the penalty area, with Dubravka at full stretch to tip it over the bar.
93'
Nice football from Arsenal as Tierney's cross finds Smith Rowe whose shot is deflected behind.
E.T 1st Half
91'
Kick-off! And we go again as extra-time commences!
End of 2nd Half
FT
FT: The teams can't be separated in normal time, so we will have another 30 minutes!
90+3
Red card overturned! Smith Rowe is shown a straight red card for a tackle on Longstaff, but that looks really harsh. The referee is going to the screen to look at the incident... and correctly overturns his decision. It's just a yellow for the Arsenal man.
