Arsenal fired at Everton with new and old guns alike

#3 Aaron Ramsey scores his first ever Arsenal hat-trick

Rambo, indeed

On a day when the new guns came out blazing, Aaron Ramsey put in a slightly closer-to-home performance that proved that on its day, the old cannon works just as well as the flashy new weaponry.

Appropriately awarded the man of the match award, Ramsey seemed to put not a foot wrong, as in Jack Wilshere's inexplicable absence, it was the Welshman who seemed to be pulling all the strings.

Deftly converting a sublime cross from Henrikh Mkhitaryan, in as early as the 6th minute, he gave the Gunners the lead. 13 minutes later, the 27-year old fired in a shot from long-range - which was inadvertently deflected past Pickford into the back of net - to score his second, and give Arsenal's devout fans a bundle of joy.

With the game all but wrapped up, in the 74th minute, the midfielder came back to haunt Everton as he slammed in a cross from the right flank - From Mkhitaryan, again - to seal his first ever hat-trick as an Arsenal player, and the tie - one in which the final whistle only served to put the Toffees out of their misery.
