Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah was full of pride scoring a hat-trick in victory over Sheffield United,

The Gunners thrashed the Blades 5-0 today.

Nketiah said, "It's amazing. It's not been easy - last month I lost my auntie so I want to dedicate these three goals to her. Her family were here watching so it is a really special moment.

"These games are about patience, mot losing discipline. For the first goal, it was a good ball from Dec and a lovely touch and finish from myself.

"The second, I thought it was clean to go but it is never nice when see the purple VAR screen turns up. The third was amazing, a great strike and a special moment."

On handing over the penalty to Fabio Vieira, he added: "My first instinct was to grab the ball and go, but Fabio won it and it was a good moment. It's all about being a team player. it was his time to get a chance and he tucked it away."
