Minute-by-minute report: Arsenal need a win to climb back above Spurs and reclaim fourth place going into the final day. Join Michael Butler for updates.
Newcastle away is not the fixture Mikel Arteta would have chosen for Arsenal’s penultimate game. For Arsenal, the maths is pretty simple. Wilson closes the keeper down, but the ball deflects straight to White who desperately boots the ball upfield. 8 min: Yellow card for White, who makes a clumsy tackle on the edge of Arsenal’s box. White, who had missed the previous three games with a hamstring problem, also comes in. 12 min: Arsenal are wandering around with all the urgency of Benny Fazio on a construction site.

“The sky is the limit really, so I want to push on and never be satisfied,” roared TAA. And you thought the battle at the bottom could get messy?” – Mark McFadden. You go into the dressing room after the game and all of the lads are straight on their phones. Oddly enough, for me the answer to all three is the same, ‘Leighton Baines at peak John Lennon’” – Jon Millard. And I saw him play for England” – Melanie Smith. “I am in total disbelief that your idiot friend was getting married on FA Cup Saturday (Friday’s missive). When did you find a friend, let alone one who could get married? However, all but one of those drubbings were dished out to a version of Newcastle that no longer exists – an incarnation that was owned by a tyrant fabled for cynically using the club and its ground to promote the personal fiefdom from which he generated his billions. For Arteta, his players and Arsenal’s fans, the pressure is on and will remain just as intense even if they win tonight. Join Max Rushden, Barry Glendenning and the pod squad for the latest Football Weekly podcast. But with Mike Ashley gone and their Premier League safety secured, Newcastle’s players have nothing much to play for tonight … apart from the love of 50,000 newly enthused fans. “I have no complaint and I didn’t complain on Thursday,” he said. Of course, this being Arsenal, it could be argued that this also constitutes bad news, as the only team more likely to mess up this golden opportunity to return to European football’s top table currently sit two points ahead of them in that fourth place, having played one game more.

'A dagger to the heart': Arsenal humiliated in huge blow to Champions League hopes.
I never fully trusted them to get into the top four, to be honest with you, all the way through. “They are not in the four best sides in the country but they had an advantage on the other teams and they still haven’t made it pay. They didn’t respond to the pressure... Tottenham put them under pressure and they couldn’t cope with the pressure. That was a big advantage for them. I fear for Arsenal and Mikel Arteta next season.

For the second successive match Mikel Arteta's players were knocked out of their stride by a raucous home crowd.
Arteta, a typically twitchy presence on the touchline throughout, threw the kitchen sink at it, with the introduction of Alexandre Lacazette and Nicolas Pepé leaving his team with something resembling a front five. The Arsenal manager decided early in the second half that there was certainly not enough of the required invention with Gabriel Martinelli promptly introduced to replace the near-invisible Emile Smith Rowe, and immediately the Brazilian added some zest to his team. Arsenal repelled the home side’s first-half set-pieces with courage and conviction, which was a good job as there were plenty of them to face. The home fans chanted with insistence and the visitors could have done with some of their certainty. The suspicion was Aaron Ramsdale’s heartily-cheered slip in the opening seconds, when making his inaugural clearance of the evening, pointed the way to forthcoming mishap and Arsenal began nervily. The schedule and the occasion demanded and, if ever there was a night for Arsenal to show they really had changed and were becoming a team of substance, then this was it.
Mikel Arteta has made progress in changing attitudes, but Arsenal players showed a lack of fight at Newcastle with the Champions League on the line.
It was in our hands and today it's not in our hands. But the only players stepping up in this game were wearing black and white shirts. Aside from Saka, who is still only 20, Arsenal lack a player who can be relied upon to measure up when faced with a challenge. The Switzerland international is experienced enough to lead this team on the pitch, but he was nowhere to be seen when Newcastle were winning every challenge, so Xhaka's words ring fairly hollow, unless he is blaming himself too. That's down to Arsenal, though. "They [Newcastle] were running us over from the first minute to the 96th.
Mikel Arteta said Arsenal must "swallow the poison" after a 2-0 loss at Newcastle left his team facing failure to qualify for the Champions League.
"They were running us over from the first minute to the 96th. "The thing is the pressure. If you can't handle the pressure, it ends like today. "It's very hard to accept it. Normally, I sit here and defend what we have done, but Newcastle were 100 times better than us in every department, from beginning to end. "Tonight, we have to swallow all the poison that we feel and go again tomorrow," Arteta said.
A seething Granit Xhaka laid into his Arsenal teammates after their disastrous defeat at Newcastle dealt a huge blow to their top-four hopes.
“It’s a step forward, definitely,” he said. We need people to have the balls to come here and play. “From the first minute to the 90th we didn’t deserve to be on the pitch today,” Xhaka said.
Arsenal and Tottenham are battling it out for the final Champions League spot this season which looks set to go down to the wire.
Arsenal and Spurs have faced off on 60 occasions in the league. Arsenal Points Arsenal Position This season, St. Totteringham's Day, if it occurs, will mean that Arsenal have finished in the top four, and that they've finished above Tottenham for the first time since the 2015-16 season. Finishing above Tottenham has been a formality for much of Arsenal's recent history, even reaching the point that Arsenal supporters have invented a holiday to mark the occasion. Having finished behind Tottenham for half a decade, Arteta's outfit will be eager to finish above their local rivals, and pip them to a seat at the top table of European football.
NEWCASTLE, England (AP) — With his team's Champions League qualification ambitions in ruins, Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka felt it was time to deliver ...
Finishing the season by winning seven of its last eight home games is a good sign for the future. And not only did we beat Arsenal, we were dominant throughout. “If someone is not ready for this game or too nervous, stay on the bench, stay at home, don’t come here,” Xhaka said, appearing to turn on some of his own teammates. “One thing missing was that we hadn’t beaten a top-six team. Given Tottenham's far superior goal difference, a draw will surely be enough against the league's last-placed team. We had nothing.”

We have done what we can, and with what we were allowed to do, what we could do and the resources we had from the start of the season. The situation is, it was a very different game against Spurs. What happened today, it was about the performance and about how we competed, and we were nowhere near the level we have to be at, to have a chance to play in the Champions League. But again, we were extremely poor in every department that can give you a chance to at least compete in the match and tonight we were nowhere near that. Today, you have to put your head down, swallow all the disappointment that we all feel, hopefully, and tomorrow start again. Newcastle were one hundred times better than us in every department from the beginning to the end and it’s hard to accept to accept, but you have to accept it and that’s the reality of what happened today on that pitch. Every aspect of the game we were second best and Newcastle totally deserved to win the match, probably by a bigger margin as well.

We had nothing.” Given Tottenham's far superior goal difference, a draw will highly likely be enough against the league's last-placed team.
