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 had 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. Arsenal were beginning to dominate proceedings, but they were struggling to find any way through a well organised Newcastle defence. Arteta had seen enough and introduced Smith Rowe and it brought about a lot more urgency from the Gunners. Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored in all four of his FA Cup appearances, netting six goals in total in the competition.
