READ ARSENAL VERDICT
Pepe has looked like a player in desperate need of a confidence boost and what better than a cracking strike into the top corner to do it? He cut inside brilliantly onto his left foot and found the top corner with aplomb, before also teeing up Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for the third goal with a clever clipped ball into the box.
Hopefully, he can now push on and continue to produce at the top end of the pitch for Arsenal. He needs to keep adding goals and assists to his game to help Arsenal climb back up the Premier League table.
