Arsenal defeated Sheffield United at Emirates Stadium to maintain their perfect start to the season thanks to a hat-trick from Eddie Nketiah, their first Premier League goal.
With a clever touch, he opened the score, and Declan Rice’s threaded ball exposed the United defense.
With a thunderous strike into the roof of the net, Nketiah gave Arsenal a bigger lead against Paul Heckingbottom’s struggling team.
The England forward, who has five league goals this season, had a fantastic afternoon that was capped off by a stunning strike from 25 yards out.
The visual assistant referee (VAR) determined that Oliver Norwood had fouled Fabio Vieira within the area, leading to Vieira’s late penalty.
In stoppage time, Takehiro Tomiyasu scored from a corner after Mohamed Elneny flicked the ball.
Arsenal’s victory moved them up to second place in the standings, two points behind rivals Tottenham from North London.
