After withstanding early pressure from Arsenal, Newcastle were able to settle the game down as the half progressed despite creating few chances at the Emirates Stadium.
Joelinton had a big opportunity to put Newcastle ahead on the stroke of half-time but the sides went in level.
Here are the half-time player ratings from the match...
1. Nick Pope - 7
Denied Bukayo Saka from a tight angle early on and was alert to stop Martinelli and Nketiah in the second half.
2. Kieran Trippier - 8
Did little wrong down the right as he kept Martinelli contained and posed a threat with his deliveries but his team-mates lacked the movement to connect.
3. Fabian Schar - 7
After a slightly awkward first half in possession, defended well for the most part and made a very important challenge on Martinelli in the second half.
4. Sven Botman - 9
Managed the game well from the back and was a colossus in the air as Arsenal applied the pressure.
