Arsenal cruised to a 4-1 victory over second-tier Portsmouth in the FA Cup third round on Sunday, thanks to a hat-trick from Gabriel Martinelli.
The English Premier League leaders conceded a shock goal in the third minute to Colby Bishop, but soon found an equaliser via an own-goal from Andre Dozzell five minutes later, before Brazilian winger Martinelli (25th, 51st, and 72nd min) came to the fore.
