    Mike Hall: That is a good reminder to all Arsenal fans just how good a finisher Joe Willock is. He often looks like prime Sergio Aguero!

    Oooh, major scare for Newcastle. Ciaran Clark is inches away from sliding a cross into his own net but just leaves it at the last minute.

    Newcastle have a free-kick near the corner and they send three people to try to keep it there.

    Still almost five minutes left!

    Good block by Issa Diop. Miguel Almiron feeds Callum Wilson, who bursts into the box but has a shot blocked by the two-goal scorer.

    So that's 3-3, 3-2, 3-2, and currently 2-2 in West Ham's last four. Are we sure Kevin Keegan isn't on Moyes' staff??

    It feels irrelavant now but Ben Johnson made a remarkable goalline clearance to deny Jacob Murphy about a minute before that goal.

    Joe Willock has only been on a few seconds - I didn't even have a chance to tell you about it - and he's put Newcastle ahead!

    It's a crashing header from Matt Ritchie's left-wing cross.

    Jesse Lingard has to wait an age to take this but what a penalty! Martin Dubravka guesses right but Lingard's kick clips the post and goes in. No keeper was saving that.
