da lvbet： The Gunners cruised to dominant victory at Emirates Stadium, with Fabio Vieira and Takehiro Tomiyasu also on the scoresheet for Mikel Arteta's side

da realbet： Eddie Nketiah scored a sensational hat-trick as Arsenal continued their unbeaten start to the Premier League season with a comfortable 5-0 win against Sheffield United at Emirates.

Nketiah, who came back into the starting lineup due to the injury to Gabriel Jesus, broke what had been some stubborn Sheffield United resistance with an excellent turn and finish just before the half hour mark after he was found by Declan Rice.

The frontman then smashed home a second from close range soon after half-time before completing his hat-trick in stunning style when he crashed an unstoppable 25 yard drive into the top corner.

Substitute Fabio Vieira then added a fourth with a penalty before Takehiro Tomiyasu wrapped things up late on, scoring his first ever Arsenal goal as Mikel Arteta's side closed the gap to leaders Spurs to just two points ahead of next weekend's tricky looking trip to Newcastle United.

GOAL rates Arsenal's players from Emirates Stadium…

GettyGoalkeeper & Defence

David Raya (7/10):

Looked very assured. Started a couple of dangerous attacks with excellent quick passes out to Martinelli.

Ben White (7/10):

Cruised through the game. Didn't get forward on the overlap as much as normal, but didn't really need to.

William Saliba (8/10):

Top quality as always. Looked like he was toying with the Sheffield United forwards at times.

Jakub Kiwior (7/10):

Played more as a left-back to fill the space left by Zinchenko and did it very well.

Oleksandr Zinchenko (7/10):

Looked like a No.10 at times he was playing so far forward. Got into some threatening positions and moved the ball well.

Declan Rice (8/10):

Superb as always. Made Nketiah's opening goal and always looked like the man who could drive Arsenal forwards.

Emile Smith Rowe (7/10):

A first league start since May 2022. Was bright and got himself on the ball. Got the assist for Nketiah's third goal.

Kai Havertz (6/10):

Another game where he didn't really do anything wrong, but didn't make the type of impact Arsenal would have been hoping for. Neat and tidy, but never really threatened.

Bukayo Saka (6/10):

His corner led to the second goal, but other than that he was fairly subdued. Sheffield United did well to keep him largely quiet out on the right of Arsenal's attack.

Eddie Nketiah (10/10):

Who needs Gabriel Jesus? What a performance from Nketiah. Three excellent goals having been brought into the side to replace the injured Brazilian. The third was an absolute stunner.

Gabriel Martinelli (8/10):

A real live wire as always. Looked Arsenal's biggest threat in the first half when Sheffield United were keeping things tight. Unlucky not to score with one shot that drew a fine save from Foderingham.

GettySubs & Manager

Takehiro Tomiyasu (7/10):

A really bright cameo from the Japan international. Picked up the pace of the game straight away. Almost set up a goal with one run to the byline and then scored one himself, his first Arsenal goal.

Leandro Trossard (6/10):

Such a clever player. Immediately started to cause Sheffield United problems with his clever movement and eye for a pass.

Reiss Nelson (5/10):

Couldn't really get into the game having replaced Saka.

Fabio Vieira (6/10):

Won the penalty and scored it himself to make it 4-0.

Mohamed Elneny (N/A):

Only for injury time.

Mikel Arteta (8/10):

Made five changes to the team that won in Seville on Tuesday night and he will be delighted with how things went. Nketiah repaid his faith with three goals and he was also to replace the likes of Saka and White relatively early on. Two of the substitutes he sent on also scored.
