It would have been very difficult for Arsenal to continue the frantic pace of the first half and the Gunners had no need to keep up the pressure with the points already guaranteed, so they sat back and let Everton come at them, and they did!
Walcott started to look dangerous as Everton tried to save a bit of pride, and they finally got very close with a brilliant shot from Niasse but Cech was saved by the post, but the Toffees kept up the pressure and finally got there reward when Calvert-Lewin got a free header in the box to give Everton a consolation and a slight hope of a come-back.
Petr Cech has lost his chance of a 200th clean sheet again and was replaced by Ospina 5 minutes later after picking up a knock. But within ten minutes Aaron Ramsey got his first ever hat-trick when he slotted the ball cooly into the bottom right of the net with Pickford left stranded. He has been brilliant this evening but Wenger must want to save him for future games and he was immediately taken off and replaced by Jack Wilshere.
But the game is over as a spectacle now and Arsenal should now just preserve their lead, and other than a very dodgy dive by Calvin-Lewin and he was lucky not to be booked for simulation.
An excellent win for the Gunners and we have scored 10 goals against Everton this season, and Ramsey got his first hat-trick. All good!
