Eddie Nketiah secured his maiden Premier League hat-trick, propelling Arsenal to maintain their undefeated run in the season as they conquered Sheffield United at Emirates Stadium.

He initiated the scoring with a graceful touch and a swivelling finish, capitalizing on Declan Rice’s precision pass that outwitted the United defence.

Nketiah then unleashed a thunderous strike into the top of the net, further extending Arsenal’s lead against Paul Heckingbottom’s struggling team.

The England forward culminated a splendid afternoon with a phenomenal 25-yard goal, tallying his fifth league goal of the season.

Fabio Vieira converted a late penalty, granted after the video assistant referee (VAR) deemed Oliver Norwood’s foul on him inside the box.

In stoppage time, Takehiro Tomiyasu connected with a flick from Mohamed Elneny, securing a goal from a corner.

This triumph elevated Arsenal to the second spot in the league standings, trailing their north London rivals Tottenham by a mere two points.
