Newcastle started Sunday's contest with Arsenal in characteristically rampant fashion, coming ever so close to taking an early lead through Jacob Murphy, whose effort cannoned off the post. The Gunners were nothing short of overwhelmed, and it appeared the home side's superiority was going to be rewarded when a smart corner routine culminated in referee Chris Kavanagh penalising Jakub Kiwior for handling Bruno Guimaraes' goal-bound effort.
