Arsenal 4-0 Everton

The Gunners routed Everton on a memorable evening at the Emirates to increase their lead at the top of the Premier League to five points as they thrashed Sean Dyche's sorry Toffees.

The obdurate Merseysiders - who remain in the drop zone - frustrated Arsenal until five minutes before half-time, before Oleksandr Zinchenko's pass played in Bukayo Saka for an emphatic stike for 1-0.

Saka then robbed the ponderous Idrissa Gueye to play in Gabriel Martinelli. The flag went up for offside after the Brazil attacker slotted past Jordan Pickford but the decision was overturned after a VAR check.

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard wrapped up their third league onm the bounce when he side-footed home Leandro Trossard's cross after 71 minutes - prior to Martinelli adding his second and the Gunners' fourth from Eddie Nketiah's cross ten minutes from time.
