Play by play

  1. 94'

    What a great start for ESPN too, a belter of a game complete with seven goals. Let's hope that is repeated another 45 times this season eh? Thanks for your company, until next time.

  2. 94'

    Full time and what a start for Arsenal! They looked slick from the off but then exploded, scoring three goals in 11 minutes. Three more followed in the second period. David Moyes will be having nightmares about this performance all week.

  3. 93'

    Eduardo nearly makes in 1-7! He tries to lob Howard but the keeper saves. Arshavin fluffs the follow up.

  4. 92'

    Fellaini slips in a ball into the area for Pienaar but his shot is saved by Howard, Louis Saha is on hand to slot into an empty net though.

  5. 92'

    GOAL! Saha! The comeback is on!

  6. 91'

    "Boring, boring Arsenal," sing the Gunners' fans...

  7. 90'

    Phil Neville prevents Arshavin making it seven with a header inside the box. That would have been the final insult, an Arshavin header.

  8. 89'

    Everton 0-6 Arsenal. Do not adjust your screen, do not rub your eyes in disbelief, the score REALLY is 6-0.

  9. 88'

    Arshavin twists inside the area, his shot is deflected and hits the post but Eduardo is there to pot the rebound from four yards out.

  10. 88'

    GOAL! Eduardo bags one!

  11. 86'

    There are empty seats everywhere at Goodison Park. Safe to say this is not the start Everton fans were hoping for. Bottom of the league by a distance.

  12. 85'

    Aaron Ramsey goes forward and smashes one over the bar.

  13. 84'

    Eduardo goes down but springs back up. Good to see.

  14. 83'

    This is like an extension of Arsenal's pre-season programme. People running at half pace, short passes a smile or joke here and there.

  15. 81'

    Well, Newcastle have won comfortably at home for only the second time since November last year. No sign of Joe Kinnear anywhere either, a fact that will delight all Geordies.

  16. 79'

    Saha twists and turns inside the area with Vermaelen for company but eventually hits a shot wide of the near post.

  17. 78'

    Arsenal are in total control here as Eduardo launches a left foot shot narrowly wide. He's a plyer that lad.

  18. 76'

    Saha, and his ridiculous blond hair, have a go at goal but strikes it wide.

  19. 75'

    Pienaar gets a rare round of applause from the home end as he brings the ball out of his penalty area and streaks down the wing. Sagna hauls him down.

  20. 74'

    Arshavin cuts in from the right and launches one goalwards. It got a deflection and will be an Arsenal corner.

  21. 72'

    Fabregas and Van Persie go off and Ramsey and Eduardo come on.

  22. 71'

    "We are top of the league," chant the Arsenal fans, as the home section rapidly empties...

  23. 70'

    Fabregas runs to the bench after he scores and pulls out an Arsenal shirt with Jarque on the back in reference to his pal from Espanyol who recently died of a heart attack.

  24. 69'

    Fabregas heads towards the edge of the area from his own half and thumps one into the bottom corner. A superb goal.

  25. 69'

    GOAL! Fabregas again!
