Arsenal were drawn against AFC Wimbledon in the Carabao Cup after beating West Brom in Round 2.
Arsenal smashed six past West Brom, without reply, on Wednesday night, scoring for the 32nd game in a row against them. It was Arsenal’s biggest ever win over the Baggies and Alexandre Lacazette’s goal was his fifth in five games against the same opponents.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s hattrick represented his first ever goals in the League Cup in what was his fourth game. His first Premier League hattrick came against Leeds back in February.
