Emile Smith Rowe sends Arsenal through in FA Cup despite being shown red card earlier in tie

Emile Smith Rowe was Arsenal’s hero as his extra-time strike helped them secure a 2-0 win at home to Newcastle in the FA Cup.

The ‘Croydon De Bruyne’ drilled the ball in-off the post to break the deadlock before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang added another in the closing stages.

Smith Rowe was actually given his marching orders earlier

But the decision was overturned and he ended up getting the winner

However, the tie was shaping up to be much worse for the holders than it turned out to be, with Smith Rowe actually being shown a red card just before the end of normal time.

Magpies midfielder Sean Longstaff let out a huge scream after a challenge from Smith Rowe and he was promptly sent off by referee Chris Kavanagh before VAR came to his rescue and the decision was overturned.

This was moments after Andy Carroll missed a glorious chance to win it in stoppage-time but Bernd Leno was equal to the Newcastle frontman’s effort.

Newcastle offered plenty and had their moments too
