00:00At the top of the Premier League by a considerable margin

00:02It was becoming a mountain for them to climb but if any team could do it, it was Arsene Wenger's Gunners

00:08Visitors Newcastle hadn't won in the capital for three years

00:13Arsenal were without the influential Patrick Vieira, Ashley Cole and Silvinho

00:17So Nelson Vivas and Ray Parler both returned to the side

00:22Bobby Robson also had selection problems

00:25Teenager Lomano Tresor Loirois led the line in the absence of Alan Shearer and with Alan Goma also out

00:31Stephen Caldwell was brought into the centre of defence

00:36So were Newcastle meeting an off form Arsenal at exactly the right time

00:41Or would the Gunners extend the Geordie's misery in London?

00:45Your match commentator is John Champion

00:49On the face of it a very attractive fixture this

00:52Arsenal

00:53Runners-up for the last two years champions the season before

00:57Against a Newcastle side resurgent under Bobby Robson

01:03It's a crisp day

01:08A crowd that is expectant and noisy

01:13And contains the usual large quota down from the northeast

01:18We'll have a chorus or two of the blatant races a little later

01:24It's Newcastle looking to attack Griffin

01:31Struggled to retain the ball

01:37Silvinho and Seaman today

01:54And Newcastle most notably without Alan Shearer, of course who is here and watching

02:00They have no great help to them out on the pitch

02:03Griffin

02:06Lee

02:09Warren Barton

02:15Newcastle haven't won in London in three years and 10 days

02:19It's a miserable record they've got in the nation's capital

02:35There's Youngberg, it's Dyer that emerges with it

02:39Dixon

02:41Parler

02:50Vivas

03:04There's Thierry Henry

03:08Nine Premier League goals so far this season

03:11Oh

03:16That's his home record

03:18As strong as we've got used to it being in recent seasons

03:2210 wins two draws one defeat in all competitions here this season

03:27And that was with a weakened team against Ipswich in the League Cup

03:31Luoluo

03:34That's neat Clarence Acuna

03:41Nobby Solano

03:44It's Tony Adams for Arsenal

04:05Once more Adams in the way

04:08And then Grimaldi

04:13Manny Pérez

04:25Henry

04:29Well, it was an inviting ball across the face of goal

04:38Kieran Dyer for Newcastle

04:42Arsenal

04:44Beaten twice in the last three Premier League games two of their three defeats this season

04:50Two nil at Everton one nil at Leeds glad to be back on home soil

04:59Looking for some goals today having bagged just one in their last four English Premier League matches

05:07Oh

05:17Adams

05:21Vivas

05:28Henry that's lovely. That's superb

05:34From back to front in two easy steps

05:38Oh

05:40Tony Adams out of defence instantaneous control and a swept finish by Thierry Henry

05:49It's taken 13 minutes

05:57Defender Aaron Hughes left chasing a shadow

06:07Oh

06:12Solano arriving Acuna is Lee

06:19Now Griffin is really a right back pressed into service at left back today

06:27Freddie Young

06:33Yes

06:38Yeah, that's a brilliant goal

06:47When Arsenal flow they flow like no other team

06:53First Premier League goal of the season for Ray Parler

06:58And already Newcastle are staring down the barrel

07:08So

07:24And the clearance is completed by Warren Barton

07:30Arsenal two goals up just as they were against buy-in here in the Champions League on Tuesday

07:35They were picked back for a 2-2 draw

07:40They'll be glad of the break now in their European fixtures until they go to Lyon in February

07:49Concentrate on this competition the English Premier League

07:55And also when it comes around the FA Cup

07:57So

08:04Here come Newcastle though

08:09Here in Dyer couldn't make anything of it

08:21As quick as anyone on the pitch Thierry Henry included in full flight here in Dyer

08:27Oh

08:34Getting the better of Lee

08:41Oh, that was a foul right in front of the referee's assistant as well

08:47Andy Griffin protesting his innocence

08:57Oh

09:06If any one of three Arsenal players could have got on the end of that Youngberg had the best chance

09:12Instead it's Solano for Newcastle

09:16It's like a Warren Barton to chase it from right back

09:20John Carver with the headset on Bobby Robson's assistant

09:24It's a bum places over there

09:27Oh

09:42Yes

09:45Teasing Barton beating Barton

09:50And clearing the crossbar

09:53A burst of acceleration too much for Newcastle's fullback. He also beat Lee in the process

10:07Newcastle are struggling to make much impact on this game

10:12Usually whoever they're playing against as an attacking force they demand respect

10:17Oh

10:19With only the Walla Walla up front and Dyer in support they're not as potent as usual

10:34Yes

10:43It's come to Youngberg

10:47Oh

10:49Had an age to assess it how he was going to hit the dropping ball

10:55No immediate challenge coming his way

11:03Arsenal won't have had many easier first halves this season

11:07Which is not to denigrate Newcastle just emphasizes how well Arsenal have played

11:17Stunned by those two recent premier league defeats

11:21Annoyed by the fact they're now eight points behind Manchester United in the title race

11:27And knowing that Manchester United themselves have an awkward task across the capital at Charlton today

11:33They know this is a match they need to take advantage of

11:38And so far so good for Arsene Wenger's men

11:44Keogh

11:47O'Connor off in pursuits

11:51Barkley and Hughes between them halted him. It's cleared by Steve Caldwell

11:59And at halftime here at Highbury Arsenal

12:01Lead by two goals to nil and it could have been more

12:04The goal scorers Thierry Henry after just 13 minutes

12:09and three minutes later

12:11A super finish by Ray Parler

12:13To make it 2-0

12:15Newcastle haven't had many moments themselves

12:18Sean of fit strikers and with Louis Louis a lone front runner

12:23It's going to be difficult for them to get back into this game. It's Arsenal 2

12:27Newcastle United nil

12:34The opportunity for Newcastle in particular to regroup and be rejuvenated

12:38Rejuvenated

12:42But it's an awfully long way back from two goals down at Highbury of all places

12:50Newcastle beginning the day in eighth place in the English Premier League table

12:53but with only two wins in their last seven Premier League matches, which has

12:58Precipitated this drop from third place in the table

13:03If you add to that a League Cup defeat at Birmingham last week

13:07It's not been too healthy just lately they were of course top of the table in early September

13:12So

13:31Newcastle not helped by the number of different defenders they've had to use this season

13:36They've conceded far more goals than they'd be comfortable with and that's partly down to the fact that today they're using their

13:4211th different pairing of central defenders

13:47Hughes and Stephen Caldwell

13:59For Arsenal it's the old faithfuls at centre-back today Keown and Adams

14:11And despite the slice clearance, I think you can tell that those two have played together a few times before

14:25Hughes in trouble

14:31Foiled by Shea Given

14:37You'd back him from that

14:41So

14:48Late

14:50Barton

14:59Here's a Marie

15:01It's

15:10Hasn't scored in the Premier League this season the Nigerian cano

15:14Oh

15:26Rob Lee Solano finding Dyer

15:34The Walla Walla

15:39Acuna

15:44Aaron Hughes back to Shea given

15:56Stephen Caldwell his brother Gary is also a professional footballer also attached to Newcastle

16:10Solano Dyer

16:14Grimaldi Youngberg

16:23Arsenal three Newcastle United now

16:30And they're not doing it they're praising him by shouting out his name

16:36All over the top, that's all it took to unhinge Newcastle

16:41Youngberg to Canu

16:43Neat finish

16:45Arsenal have what should be a winning lead now

17:06It's

17:14Classic meetings between these two sides in recent seasons

17:18This in terms of closeness is not one of them

17:22There's loads to admire in Arsenal's display. Here's Perez

17:30Vixen

17:33Grimaldi

17:35Acuna to Dyer

17:37Kala wins it back

17:41Gives it to Canu

17:4930,000 people shouted man on

17:51Henri

17:53Over the bar

17:55It's a corner

18:02Canu lunged in but it came off Caldwell

18:10Canu couldn't get the purchase on the head of that time

18:21All going swimmingly well for Arsene Wenger

18:28Youngberg

18:31It's a studious ball in

18:35Equally studious clearance

18:43On their day

18:45Arsenal are quite probably the best team to watch

18:49In English football right now

18:52Youngberg

18:54Bulledge

19:00That is painful for the opposition though

19:02And Gary speed for his pains has been yellow carded

19:16Committee has met

19:18It'll be Birkamp

19:20Solano.

19:25Luar Luar.

19:30That's a good ball. Hits Dyer!

19:34It's Manninger at the near post.

19:38It's Newcastle's best move.

19:42It's taken until the final ten minutes for it to arrive.

19:51Solano.

19:54One back for Arsenal by Vivas.

19:58Bergkamp.

19:59Henry!

20:01Onside!

20:02Pérez!

20:04Bergkamp!

20:06And again.

20:07And still no.

20:10Two bites at it.

20:13Three.

20:16And still no reward.

20:21Come on!

20:34Oleg Luzhny.

20:37Bergkamp.

20:39Here comes Luzhny.

20:42Arsenal's gone.

20:46A veteran stage of his career, Oleg Luzhny.

20:48Still contributing.

20:56Lauren putting out against Luar Luar.

21:01Luzhny.

21:04Henry.

21:05A couple of little looks to his left.

21:07And he's picked out.

21:08Pérez!

21:15His second and number four for Arsenal.

21:18Arsenal.

21:29He is so perceptive, Henry.

21:32A couple of little looks up.

21:33Perfectly measured cross.

21:36And a header of which a centre-forward would have been proud.

21:39Or a centre-back, for that matter.

21:42Quite being made by Tony Adams.

21:49Pérez!

21:51Pérez!

21:53Acuna.

21:56And the Chilean has picked out the Peruvian, Solano.

22:01And he's been robbed by the Argentine, Vivas.

22:07But it's the boy from Romford who's made the biggest impact of all.

22:11Uri! Uri! Uri!

22:13Uri! Uri! Uri!

22:15Uri! Uri! Uri!

22:17Uri! Uri! Uri!

22:19Uri! Uri! Uri!

22:21Uri! Uri! Uri!

22:22Henry.

22:26Just as well for Newcastle.

22:28They're looking distinctly weary out there.

22:35Here's Cordone.

22:40Uri! Uri! Uri!

22:42Uri! Uri! Uri!

22:44Warren.

22:49Pérez.

22:54It's Luzhnik.

22:56It's Henry.

22:59And it's Steve Caldwell for Newcastle now.

23:10Adams.

23:13Moving to stoppage time at Highbury.

23:19Sometimes they call it Highbury the library, not today.

23:23Plenty of vocal encouragement and quite a response from the crowd to a virtuoso display by their team.

23:31Robert Pérez.

23:33Here's the run from midfield.

23:35It's Parler.

23:36It's a hat-trick!

23:41It's second hat-trick for the club following on from that treble at Werder Bremen

23:46in the UEFA Cup quarter-final last season.

23:52Ray Parler becomes the first player to score a hat-trick in this fixture

23:56since Malcolm McDonald a quarter of a century ago.

24:00Beautifully released by Pérez.

24:06Local boy made good.

24:11And Arsenal have looked very good today.

24:19Barely time for them to restart before the final whistle goes to bring down the curtain

24:24on a terrific display by Arsenal.

24:26Newcastle are a position of reasonable quality,

24:31of good pedigree,

24:33with plenty of threats,

24:34but today it was all Arsenal.

24:37Thierry Henry leading by example with a goal and a couple of assists.

24:42Parler with a hat-trick.

24:44Kanu with his first Premier League goal of the season.

24:47All in all, Newcastle United's heaviest defeat under the management of Bobby Robson.

24:53And they still haven't won in London.

24:55Three years, ten days and counting.

24:58Terrific Arsenal.

25:00Newcastle very ordinary today.

25:02Arsenal 5.

25:04Newcastle United 0.

25:07A very special day for Ray Parler,

25:09enabling the Gunners to close the gap on Manchester United to a manageable six points.

25:14So some winter hope for the Gunners at Highbury,

25:17but Manchester United would prove very difficult to catch at the top of the Premier League that season

25:21and Arsenal eventually had to give up.
