And so it seemed for a few minutes until Newcastle found their feet.
In fact they could have gone ahead but a save from Leno saved the team from the agony of falling behind.
0-0 at half time didn't give any clue to the second half.
Steve Bruce, the Newcastle United head coach must have been the happier man though. Arsenal had been marginally the better side but hadn't made the breakthrough.
A cross from Pepé was headed home by Aubameyang and we waited for VAR to confirm.
VAR has been such an intrusion into games that it is difficult to know if you can celebrate straight away.
Pepé doubled the lead when he shot in from inside the box.
Arsenal then dominated the game before Özil and Lacazette added the icing on the cake in the closing minutes.
On a day when Storm Dennis was disrupting the country it was great to get back to winning ways and in the "Arsenal Way".
