FA Cup Holders Arsenal needed extra-time as they booked their place in
the fourth round of the FA Cup with a 2-0 victory against Newcastle at the Emirates Stadium.
Substitute Emile Smith Rowe got a straight red card for a challenge on Sean Longstaff at the end of normal time downgraded to a booking by Chris Kavanagh after the referee consulted the pitchside monitor.
And the youngster made the all-important breakthrough for the Gunners in the 109th minute before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
sealed his side’s place in Monday’s fourth-round draw.
Newcastle, who are without a win in seven games in all comeptitions, pushed Mikel Arteta’s side all the way and they had their chances to win the tie, Andy Carroll denied by Bernd Leno late in normal time.
But Arsenal’s quality eventually shone through as they kept their bid for a 15th FA Cup success on track.
