Arsenal are on the brink of securing Champions League football for next season after strolling to a resounding victory over a sorry Newcastle side.
Following a low-key start, the Gunners went ahead when Laurent Koscielny prodded home Santi Cazorla’s free-kick.
Mesut Ozil tapped in to double their lead before half-time.
After the break, the German crossed for Olivier Giroud to head in the third and seal Newcastle’s sixth consecutive Premier League defeat.
