Match Report

The Swedish striker turned home a superb cross from Anthony Gordon to break the deadlock after just 12 minutes.

And in truth it was quite a comfortable victory as Arsenal did not really threaten Nick Pope's goal.

The only nervy moment for the Toon Army came in the 93rd minute when Declan Rice squandered a glorious chance to head in at the back post.

That makes it three Premier League games without a win for the Gunners following the defeat at Bournemouth and draw with Liverpool.
