Arsenal go five clear of Man City after trouncing Everton at Emirates

Title-chasing Arsenal opened up a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League as Gabriel Martinelli's double eased them to a 4-0 thrashing of relegation-threatened Everton at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday.

The hosts were initially frustrated by struggling Everton, but goals by Bukayo Saka and Martinelli shortly before half-time put them in command as they took maximum advantage of their game in hand over Manchester City.
