EPL: Saka, Martinelli score as Arsenal defeat Everton 4-0

Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli scored twice as the Gunners thrashed Everton 4-0 at the Emirates Stadium to go five points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table.

Wonderkid, Bukayo Saka opened the floodlight of goals with his 40th minute striker to give the Gunners the lead in the very thrilling encounter.

Few minutes after, Martinelli netted his first goal of the night with a cool finish after Saka had tackled Idrissa Gueye (45+1), the goal reinstated by VAR after the Brazilian was initially flagged offside.

The victory made it three wins on the bounce for Arsenal, providing another statement about their title credentials, while Everton remains mired in relegation trouble in 18th place.
