Unai Emery got his Arsenal career off to a winning start as the Gunners thrashed National League side Boreham Wood 8-0 in their first pre-season match. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang needed just 17 minutes to bag a hat-trick in the first half.

Boreham Wood were never expected to put up much of a fight, and Arsenal were remarkably sharp for a match this early in pre-season. Reiss Nelson and Alexandre Lacazette also got on the scoresheet in the opening 45 minutes, and Edward Nketiah, Jeff Reine-Adelaide and Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored after the break.

Here's a look at Arsenal's starting XI:
