Aubame makes it threesy
PIERRE-EMERICK Aubameyang marked Unai Emery’s first game as Arsenal manager with a 17-minute hat-trick in an emphatic 8-0 friendly win at non-league Boreham Wood.
The Gabon forward showed his class with a superb curled opener before heading home a second and then completing his treble from the penalty spot.
New boss Emery played Alexandre Lacazette and Reiss Nelson alongside Aubamenyang in a three-pronged attack and they each added a goal to leave it 5-0 at the break.
Substitutes Eddie Nketiah, Jeff Reineadelaide and Henrikh Mkhitaryan completed the scoring at Meadow Park.
In other games, Marko Arnautovic was on target as West Ham won 1-0 at Wycombe, West Brom scored three times in their victory at Swindon and Peter Crouch was on target for Stoke as the Potters won at Walsall.
