The North London side continued their onslaught, with Kai Havertz adding a fifth goal off the bench, sealing a comprehensive victory.
The game saw a number of other notable performances. Jack Porter, another Arsenal youngster, made his senior debut in goal, keeping a clean sheet until Collins’ strike. Meanwhile, Sterling impressed on his full Arsenal debut, showcasing his pace and attacking threat.
With this convincing win, Arsenal advance to the Carabao Cup fourth round draw, which takes place later tonight. The Gunners will be hoping to continue their strong form in all competitions as they look to challenge for silverware this season.
