Arsenal never looked in danger of recording anything other than three points against Hull City on Saturday, with the Gunners running out 4-1 winners in the Premier League clash at the KCOM Stadium.
Goals from Theo Walcott, Granit Xhaka and an Alexis Sanchez brace sealed a comfortable win for the North London side, who put in a confident display from the off.
Big praise for #BIG17https://t.co/8QHe0WoBUb

Alex Iwobi was awarded the man-of-the-match award after an industrious display in the final third for the visitors.
The Nigeria international looked to have scored Arsenal’s opener only for Sanchez to get the final touch, while a neat assist for Walcott’s goal rounded off an impressive showing.
Iwobi has come through the ranks at the Premier League club and already looks like a player that can be a major attacking weapon for Arsene Wenger’s side.
The Gunners fans are clearly taken with the young forward and sang his praises on Twitter following their side’s win. Here are the best tweets.
Don't think we will ever see Ramsey on the wing anymore because of Iwobi. That wide playmaker has been found in him

Rashford is overhyped just like any other English players. I genuinely think #iwobi is better around player than Rashford! #afc

Glad Iwobi isn't getting all the hype that Wilshere did, less pressure and he will be able to play his football without extra attention #AFC

Just watching yesterday's highlights, lovely move for Theo's goal, Iwobi looked like he had a cracking game.

Iwobi was great attacking yest, but I seriously hope Bould/AW sit him down & make him watch videos of how Alexis tracks when he plays left.

Also, Iwobi is just so so good. Welbz will have trouble when fit. #afc #iwobi

#Iwobi is very very good! If he wasn't playing for #Arsenal , the media would have hyped him enough to warrant a £50m price tag. #COYG #AFC

Imagine we paid £40m for Iwobi, everyone would be going mental about him #AFC #Arsenal #Big17

Alex Iwobi has done more for Arsenal in 9 months than Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has in the last 3 seasons. #afc

So impressed with Iwobi. Absolutely no fear. His skill in the final third is sublime. Direct and always looking to get forward #AFC #Iwobi
