# 43 mins GOAL FOR ARSENAL: Aneke is the scorer # 43 mins Good link up play again from the Arsenal strike force created space for Emmanuel-Thomas in the penalty area. He got to the byline and drilled in a low cross from the right that hit Stech and found it’s way through to Aneke at the far post. He showed great reactions to head the ball home from a yard. The ball came at him very quickly and the striker did well to finish.# 49 mins GOAL FOR ARSENAL: Emmanuel-Thomas makes it 2-0 # 49 mins The striker jinxed his way past three defenders on the edge of the area before neatly slotting the ball into the net.# 80 mins PENALTY TO ARSEANL: Henderson is hauled down by Tomkins and the refree points to the spot# 80 mins EMMANUEL-THOMAS FIRES THE SPOT KICK INTO THE TOP RIGHT-HAND CORNER. 3-0. he sent the goalkeeper the wrong way# 85 mins GOAL FOR ARSENAL: Emmanuel-Thomas has got his hat-trick! # 85 mins The forward ran with the ball before unleashing what is now becoming a trademark left-foot shot into the top corner.# 87 mins RED CARD! Faubert is sent off! It was a straight red for the West Ham man after an off-the-ball incident# 89 mins PENALTY TO WEST HAM! Nordtveit is penalised for a push on Subuola and the visitors have a chance to score a late consolation. Ahmed Abdulla steps up...# 89 mins GOAL FOR WEST HAM: Abdulla scores from the spot but it's far too little far too late for the Hammers.fingers crossed he beasts against newcastle and leapfrogs vela

Hes going qpr I think

[Abdul Osman]

JET looked swag against Ivanovich who played 85 minutes, JET was gassed after one long run and looks more suited to Championship maybe even a team like Blackpool - hasn't got the physical attributes to be a 90 min prem player

Lost 2-0 to VillaJET, Lansbury, and Eastmond flew to Donetsk. Afobe is on loan to Huddersfield.

By Giuseppe MuroArsenal Reserves got back to winning ways with a comprehensive 4-1 victory over Everton on Monday thanks, in part, to another piece of magic from Jay Emmanuel-Thomas. After going behind to an early Shkodran Mustafi header the second string responded well before two goals early in the second half meant Neil Banfeild’s side won at a canter in front of the watching Arsène Wenger. Emmanuel-Thomas levelled the scores midway through the first half before Chuks Aneke put the Gunners in front immediately after the interval. A moment of inspiration from Emmanuel-Thomas made it three after 52 minutes and a rare Havard Nordtveit strike ensured Arsenal enjoyed what, in the end, was a comfortable win. Man of the moment Emmanuel-Thomas returned to the side after a call-up to Arsène Wenger’s squad for the trip to Donetsk meant he missed the defeat to Aston Villa last time out. He formed a forward three with Aneke and Gilles Sunu. Sead Hajrovic again partnered captain Ignasi Miquel at the centre of the Arsenal defence and there were starting spots in midfield for Henri Lansbury and Craig Eastmond. On a bitterly cold day at London Colney the away side started brightly and took the lead after just five minutes. Jose Baxter floated a free-kick to the back post where Mustafi was waiting to head home into the far corner from eight yards. A far from ideal start though the goal seemed to shock Arsenal to life. The men in red started to dominate possession and Everton had to rely on a last-ditch block to thwart Aneke and the outside of the upright to deny Emmanuel-Thomas on 23 minutes. Three minutes after hitting the base of Iain Turner’s post the in-form striker would not be denied. The ever-willing Lansbury got into a good position on the right touchline and when he swung a cross into a dangerous position inside the six-yard box Emmanuel-Thomas was on hand to prod home. He stuck out his left leg to beat James Wallcace to the ball and turn it past Turner into the bottom-right corner. There was still time for an unmarked Sunu to blaze over from barely six yards and Aneke to force a good save from the goalkeeper with a low curling effort as Arsenal finished the first period well on top. The home side started the second as they ended the first, showing their intent from the first whistle. Oguzhan Ozyakup delivered a perfect corner into the six-yard box where Aneke was waiting to tower above Mustafi and powerfully head into the roof of the net just two minutes after the restart and put his side in front. And then after 52 minutes came the moment that will leave Arsenal fans purring. Ozyakup spread the ball out to Emmanuel-Thomas who took his now trademark position on the right of the penalty area. What followed was special. The 19-year-old cut inside onto his left and beat Luke Garbutt with a piece of skill that has to be seen to be believed. With his left foot he somehow seemed to shift the ball around the back of his right leg and leave the defender behind in one graceful swooping motion before firing a low shot into the bottom-right corner from the edge of the area. A piece of skill almost beyond words. Look out for the highlights on Arsenal TV Online from Tuesday afternoon. Nordtveit headed in a fourth from a corner after 63 minutes and there was no way back for Everton. Aneke was twice denied by stunning Turner reflexes in the final few minutes but Arsenal cruised to a victory that will always be remembered for a moment of brilliance from their talismanic striker.

No news on Ramsey?I'm not the only one who would rather see JET get a chance in the 1st team ahead of Vela?

jet > _________gotta get in the first team line up now surely...

[YesWeCain]

JET in the Premiership or Europe will always be suspect as he has no stamina, even Wenger has admitted this is a big problem which is why he's reluctant to give him more than 5 minutes.In the Championship he looked good although not as good as he is in the reserves, I wonder why? maybe he's playing against pub guys.

Portugal.No surprise, he wasnt in the last 18, so minus them three, and add Bendtner, Gibbs & Vela. Who are the actual first-team squad players.

smh @ the english of some of our 1st team players, when compared with our reserves. most of which haven't been here for half as long and did not speak a word of english before joining us, either.
