    Sunderland’s Aiden O’Brien has netted four goals in four League Cup appearances this season, one more than he had netted in his first 11 games in the competition.

    Sunderland bring on Aiden O'Brien and Corry Evans for Lynden Gooch and Elliot Embleton.

  4. YELLOW CARDpublished at 76 mins

    Arsenal 4-1 Sunderland

    A deserved yellow card for Bailey Wright with a reckless, late sliding tackle on Gabriel Martinelli.

    Gabriel Martinelli scored twice against Leeds on Saturday, I bet Sunderland can't believe he's on.

  6. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 73 mins

    Arsenal 4-1 Sunderland

    Arsenal bring on Brazilians Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel for Ben White and Martin Odegaard.

    Martin Odegaard fires in a shot from the free-kick which looks closer in real time than it really is.

    Arsenal 4-1 Sunderland

    Sunderland just can't get it away. Eddie Nketiah's shot is blocked by Denver Hume and the Black Cats end up conceding a free-kick about 22 yards out.

    Nuno Tavares has some cross on him at times - nobody is on the end of this one though.

    Arsenal are completely in control now.

    I actually feel sorry for Denver Hume now. Nicolas Pepe nutmegs him again - the EXACT same move as last time - before finding Martin Odegaard. His shot is blocked.

    Arsenal 4-1 Sunderland

    That is Eddie Nketiah's first senior hat-trick. He's done it plenty of times for England's youth teams.

    A bad first touch denies Eddie Nketiah a chance for a fourth. Nuno Tavares powers in a cross which Nketiah tries to take in his stride. The ball hits his knee though and he can't reach it.

  13. YELLOW CARDpublished at 60 mins

    Arsenal 4-1 Sunderland

    This game has probably gone for Sunderland now. Denver Hume is booked for a foul.

    Eddie Nketiah hat-trick

    Eddie Nketiah seals his hat-trick with the best goal of the night.

    Nicolas Pepe nutmegs Denver Hume on the edge of the box and puts a low ball across for Nketiah, who gets away from a defender and scores a backheel flick from eight yards.

    Arsenal 3-1 Sunderland

    Sunderland aren't giving up. Ross Stewart gets in behind the Arsenal defence but his low cross is caught by the keeper.

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 57 mins

    Arsenal 3-1 Sunderland

    Arsenal replace the booked Folarin Balogun with Granit Xhaka to shore things up.

  18. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 55 mins

    Arsenal 3-1 Sunderland

    Oh that is desperately unlucky from Elliot Embleton. The Sunderland player gets the ball on the right wing, drifts in and then curls a sensational effort from 25 yards which clips the post.

  19. YELLOW CARDpublished at 55 mins

    Arsenal 3-1 Sunderland

    Arsenal's Folarin Balogun is booked for fouling Denver Hume.

    Eddie Nketiah has reportedly told Arsenal he's leaving on a free transfer at the end of his contract in the summer.

    He'll be a good signing for someone, won't he.
