Eddie Nketiah scored a sensational hat-trick as Arsenal continued their unbeaten start to the Premier League season with a comfortable 5-0 win against Sheffield United at Emirates.
Nketiah, who came back into the starting lineup due to the injury to Gabriel Jesus, broke what had been some stubborn Sheffield United resistance with an excellent turn and finish just before the half hour mark after he was found by Declan Rice.
The frontman then smashed home a second from close range soon after half-time before completing his hat-trick in stunning style when he crashed an unstoppable 25 yard drive into the top corner.
Substitute Fabio Vieira then added a fourth with a penalty before Takehiro Tomiyasu wrapped things up late on, scoring his first ever Arsenal goal as Mikel Arteta’s side closed the gap to leaders Spurs to just two points ahead of next weekend’s tricky looking trip to Newcastle United.

GettyGoalkeeper & Defence
David Raya (7/10):
Looked very assured. Started a couple of dangerous attacks with excellent quick passes out to Martinelli.
Ben White (7/10):
Cruised through the game. Didn’t get forward on the overlap as much as normal, but didn’t really need to.
William Saliba (8/10):
Top quality as always. Looked like he was toying with the Sheffield United forwards at times.
Jakub Kiwior (7/10):
Played more as a left-back to fill the space left by Zinchenko and did it very well.
Oleksandr Zinchenko (7/10):
Looked like a No.10 at times he was playing so far forward. Got into some threatening positions and moved the ball well.
