Alexis who? Aubameyang marks his Arsenal debut with fine chip while Ramsey nets a hat-trick as Gunners put FIVE past Everton

Aaron Ramsey scored a hat-trick yet could easily have been challenged for man of the match by Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who was outstanding. Pierre Emerick Aubameyang scored on his debut – an offside goal, admittedly, but it stood – with the most-impudent finish. And Mesut Ozil was revived and refreshed by his new team-mates, impishly evading Everton and dictating affairs. At times it looked like the Arsenal of old, like those wonderful teams Arsene Wenger coaxed into existence in his first ten years in this country.
