Eddie Nketiah collided with the Magpies defender seconds into the second half as they competed for the ball in the air.

Schar hit the ground heavily and stayed down motionless as the 52,000-seater stadium fell silent.

His Toon team-mates waved the medical staff on immediately as centre-back partner Emil Krafth appeared to try and prevent Schar from swallowing his tongue.

Nketiah received a booking for the challenge as VAR decided no further punishment was necessary.

Schar managed to get himself up and hobble off gingerly after lengthy treatment.

Jamaal Lascelles came on in the Swiss ace’s place before a Ben White own goal and Bruno Guimaraes scored for Newcastle in the 2-0 win.

The result all but ends Arsenal’s Champions League hopes – with Tottenham just needing a draw against relegated Norwich to secure a top-four finish.

In the first half, there were more disturbing scenes as Callum Wilson had a big front tooth dislodged and hanging by a thread.

Incredibly, the England international striker managed to carry on despite the bizarre injury.

And will surely be checking in for an appointment at the dentist tomorrow to get his gnashers sorted out.
