Arsenal bounced back from their 5-1 spanking at the hands of Bayern Munich by thumping non-league side Lincoln City 5-0. It was always a case of David vs Goliath as the Emirates stadium outfit hosted the team currently in the 5th division of English football.
Theo Walcott opened the scoring in the extra-time of first half before Olivier Giroud got his name on the scoresheet with a tidy finish in the 53rd minute. Kieran Gibbs’ cross was then diverted into the goal by Lincoln defender Luke Waterfall. Alexis Sanchez then added to his already impressive tally with a curled shot from outside the box before Aaron Ramsey completed the rout by literally walking the ball into the net.
