Arsenal hammer Everton 4-0 as Liverpool secure win

Arsenal scored twice in each half to consign Everton to a resounding 4-0 defeat in their English Premier League (EPL) clash at the Emirates on Wednesday night.

Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli (brace), and Martin Odegaard scored to secure an easy win for Mikel Arteta’s side.

Alex Iwobi, Super Eagles attacker, played all 90 minutes of the encounter for Everton.

Saka hit a thumping finish from Aleksandr Zinchenko’s ball to give Arsenal the lead before Martinelli slotted home following a mistake in first-half added time.

Odegaard made it three on 71 minutes before Martinelli earned his brace with an assured finish from Leandro Trossard’s cross to make it 4-0.
