Arsenal run riot with 8-0 thumping in Unai Emery’s first game

Unai Emery saw his side give him an ideal start to life in north London after an 8-0 thrashing of Boreham Wood on Saturday.

The former PSG and Sevilla coach has been busy building his new Arsenal squad in recent weeks, and took charge of his first Gunners game.

Given that Boreham Wood currently play their trade in the fifth tier of English football, Arsenal’s opponents may have been a little worried to see the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and Sokratis Papastathopoulos named in a strong starting XI.

Emery makes best possible start

And they had every right to be worried, as Aubameyang recorded a hat-trick just 16 minutes and seven seconds into Arsenal’s first game of pre-season as the north London club sauntered to an 8-0 win.
