RAMPANT Arsenal extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table to five points after thrashing sorry Everton 4-0 on Wednesday evening.

Bukayo Saka opened the scoring, with Gabi Martinelli striking a brace with a goal in each half, prior to Martin Odegaard netting for the Gunners, who powered to their 19th Premier League victory of what is shaping up to be a stellar season.

Two swift goals in five minutes from Saka and Martinelli broke the deadlock before half time, as the pair moved into double figures for league goals this campaign. Their strikes paving the way for an important victory over Sean Dyche’s previously obdurate Everton on a chilly evening in north London.
