Aubameyang hat-trick gives Arsenal morale boosting win over West Brom

Arsenal have bounced back after a disappointing start to the season by claiming a 6-0 win over West Bromwich Albion in the Carabao Cup.

Mikel Arteta named a strong line-up at the Hawthorns, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and new signing Martin Odegaard named in the starting XI.

Conversely, Baggies boss Valerian Ismael fielded a team of youngsters, and it showed as Arsenal ran rampant against the Championship outfit.

Aubameyang broke the deadlock with a tap-in after 17 minutes and repeated the feat on the stroke of half-time.


Celebrations after an Aubameyang goal


A goal from Nicolas Pepe in first-half injury time saw Arsenal take a 3-0 lead into the break.

Bukayo Saka and Pepe then opened their accounts for the season with two superb finishes to make it 5-0.

Aubameyang rounded off his hat-trick with a sublime finish for his third goal after 62 minutes.


Aaron Ramsdale also made his debut for Arsenal


It was a much needed boost for the Gunners after losing against Brentford and Chelsea in their opening two Premier League matches.

They will now take some confidence heading into a tough clash with Manchester City at the Etihad on Saturday.
