Arsenal Debutants Star Against Everton But Ramsey Steals Show With First Ever Hat-Trick

Arsenal thrashed a woeful Everton 5-1 at the Emirates to claim a vital three points and ease the pressure on under-fire boss Arsene Wenger.

Aaron Ramsey opened the scoring for the Gunners in the 6th minute, the Welshman tapping in home debutant Henrikh Mkhitaryan's cross. Arsenal doubled their lead after Laurent Koscielny headed home in the 14th minute, before Ramsey scored his second via a deflection just five minutes later.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang grabbed his debut goal in the 37th minute, when he chipped Mkhitaryan's through ball over the onrushing Pickford.

Everton improved drastically in the second half and were rewarded with a goal through Dominic Calvert-Lewin's 64th-minute header, but Aaron Ramsey secured his first-ever hat-trick in the 74th minute - Mkhitaryan providing again to ensure his own hat-trick of assists.
