Arsenal 5 Everton 1 : Iwobi Notches Assist As Gunners Set New Premier League Record

Aaron Ramsey's first career treble lit up the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal completely annihilated Everton 5-1 in their Premier League clash on Saturday evening.

Nigeria international Alex Iwobi started for the Gunners in the encounter as the hosts made a first half statement display.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan found space down the right flank to tee up Aaron Ramsey after just six minutes and the Welshman was on hand to tuck home the opener.

Laurent Koscielny made it two eight minutes later, getting the better of Eliaquaim Mangala to nod in at the far post after Shkodran Mustafi had earlier won the first header.

Jordan Pickford could do little about the third that soon arrived, palming onto the roof of the next from an Aaron Ramsey's piledriver after Iwobi had done well to pick out the midfielder.

The Nigerian was hardly finished yet as he drove through the Toffees midfield before finding Mkhitaryan with a deft through ball and the Macedonian laid off for debutant, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to chip in his first goal for the club and put Arsenal four goals ahead.

Even though Calvert-Lewin climbed highest to momentarily stem their opposition flow with a precise header four minutes past the hour mark, Ramsey arrived at the right place to wrap up the three points with his third of the evening.

According to the statisticians at OPTA , Aaron Ramsey became the 20th different player to score a Premier League hat-trick for Arsenal today, more than any other team has had in the competition.
