Arsenal laid waste to a West Bromwich Albion XI that had six academy players starting for them with a 6-0 trouncing as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored his third hat-trick in the Gunners shirt.
Besides the Gabonese’s treble, Bukayo Saka, Nicolas Pepe, and Alexandre Lacazette also found the back of the net in a much-needed result for manager Mikel Arteta, the players, and the fans alike.
The Gunners will now face Wimbledon at the Emirates in the Carabao Cup 3rd round.
I don’t know about the rest of you but I needed that win. My health needed that win no matter how small it looks. Nothing beats that feeling that comes with seeing your team win. Thank you @Arsenal.
Good win by Arsenal & much better performance. Loved seeing @Auba back on top form, Odegaard was sublime & @BukayoSaka87 superb. BUT…. this was a West Brom kids team, the real test comes on Sunday vs City. We have to turn up. pic.twitter.com/nU9yRcSGiL
FT thoughts. – History written,6 goals scored under Mikel for the 1st time -Odegaard is so good, classy -Pépé,my boy was so good tonight -Ramsdale,man celebrating Auba’s goal made my eyes watery -Aubameyang,1 hattie,Lukaku 0 hattie this season. -Lacazette,baller.
