A selection of Arsenal fans were pleased for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as he grabbed a hat-trick in the 6-0 win over West Bromwich Albion on Wednesday.

The Gunners made the trip to the Hawthorns for the Carabao Cup second round tie, and they were clear favourites when the matchday squads were put up.

Baggies boss Valerien Ismael handed surprise debuts to six academy players. It was expected that the Gunners would win comfortably on the night.

They still needed to produce a strong performance after back-to-back league defeats, and Aubameyang stood out with a hat-trick alongside an assist.

He scored his first two goals with simple tap-ins while assisting Nicolas Pepe before the break. His bicycle kick ended up into a nice pass for the Ivorian.

Shortly after the hour mark, Aubameyang appeared at his vintage best, cutting inside from the left flank before curling his shot into the far corner.

The Gabon star bagged the third hat-trick of his Gunners career. Some fans were pleased and believe it should boost his confidence going forward.

Twitter reactions:

Aubameyang hattrick, two clinical finishes and a beautiful strike for the third. It’s positive, the start of a Remontada I hope!
