This is the end of this live. Thank you all for following it and see you soon on our site.

It’s over at the Emirates Stadium! Newcastle win 2-0 and take a step towards the League Cup final. Alexander Isak’s teammates will have been able to be realistic and solid defensively to win! Return match on February 5.

Eddie Howe’s men played a great game defensively to preserve their advantage in the score. An advantage which will allow them to get closer to the League Cup final.

There will be 5 minutes of added time.

Arsenal created countless chances but still failed to capitalize, like Jorginho hitting over Dubravka’s goal.

Barely back, the Ukrainian full-back Zinchenko already receives a yellow card for a strong tackle on Joelinton.

Havertz receives a good ball in depth. The German striker crosses but no one can take it and Dubravka grabs the ball.

Lewis-Skelly gives way to Zinchenko on the Gunner side.

Miguel Almiron replaces Anthony Gordon at Newcastle.

Despite 18 shots including 3 on target, the Gunners are still failing in the last move for the moment

Martinelli receives the ball after a blocked shot from Jorginho. The Brazilian hits but it’s above!

Gabriel Jesus heads a ball but it’s still over the top! Arsenal are far too clumsy offensively to hope to score and win.

Arteta opts to bring in Gabriel Jesus and Jorginho to replace Partey and Trossard for Arsenal.

On a blocked cross from the left, Kai Havertz receives the ball but his head is next to Dubravka’s goal!

The team that wins this evening will have a small advantage in qualifying for the final of the competition which will take place on March 16 at Wembley. Opportunistic, for the moment it is Newcastle which is getting closer to qualification.

Alexander Isak receives the ball on the right side. He hits but Raya stops but Gordon is quick and shoots into the empty goal! Newcastle leads 2-0!

Arsenal continued their momentum from the first half and turned the ball into the Magpies’ camp.

There will be 2 minutes of additional time.
