The Gunners displayed an amazing performance in the second 45 minutes to comfortably record a clean sheet against struggling Magpies.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang netted a brace, with Bukayo Saka also placing his name on the scoresheet as Mikel Arteta's side cruised to triumph.

It was Arsenal's fourth win in five top flight encounters since their 3-1 victory over Chelsea on Boxing Day.

According to standard.co.uk:

The Gunners have now kept clean sheets in five straight games in all competitions, their best such run in 12 years.

Newcastle, meanwhile, are in dire form, having now gone nine games without a win in all competitions - their previous defeat coming against bottom side Sheffield United, who had not previously won a league game all season.

Arsenal have kept "five clean sheets in a row" ⬇

Five clean sheets in a row! 👊😤

A real 𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗠 effort ❤️
