Eddie the hat-trick baddie! Nketiah-powered Arsenal hammer terrible Blades

Who needs Gabriel Jesus when you've got Eddie Nketiah?! The young striker proved his worth by netting a superb triple as Arsenal destroyed Sheffield United at the Emirates.

Nketiah's first goal displayed his class as he put Arsenal in the lead. A beautifully executed play saw Declan Rice delivering a precise low cross from the right. Nketiah controlled the ball and calmly slotted it into the net.

The second goal was another masterful display by Nketiah. Wes Foderingham, the opposing goalkeeper, made a crucial error during a corner kick, and the 24-year-old Arsenal boy capitalized on it. He smashed the ball into the roof of the net from just five metres out to pretty much put the game beyond doubt.

Nketiah's third was nothing short of sensational. Emile Smith Rowe set him up with a short pass, and Nketiah unleashed a thunderous strike from an impressive 30 yards out. The ball rocketed into the top right-hand corner of Foderingham's goal, sealing his hat-trick in spectacular fashion.

Fringe players Fabio Vieira and Takehiro Tomiyasu completed the rout with two late goals to seal the emphatic 5-0 win for the Gunners.
