Arsenal were left frustrated by Newcastle United on Tuesday evening as the two Premier League sides played out a tense 0-0 draw at the Emirates Stadium.
It was the hosts who started the brighter of the two teams, coming out of the blocks flying in the opening10n minutes, but the Magpies were able to weather the storm and keep their sixth successive clean sheet across all competitions - the first time that the Gunners were unable to score in a league match this term.
Eddie Howe's side used all the tricks in the time-wasting book to frustrate Mikel Arteta and Co, with the Spaniard constantly barking in the ear of the fourth official as the away side looked to slow down the pace of the game.
