Sunderland bowed out of the Carabao Cup as they were well-beaten by Premier League Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
Eddie Nketiah scored a hat-trick for the Gunners, while Nicolas Pepe and teenage debutant Charlie Patino added one apiece.
Nathan Broadhead reduced the arrears to 2-1 in the first half before going off injured just before the break, but it was Arsenal who booked their place in the semi-finals of the competition.

Here's how James Hunter rated the Sunderland players
Lee Burge 7
Made a couple of fine saves to keep the score down, but could do little about the goals
Bailey Wright 5
Had a tough night - along with the rest of the defence
Tom Flanagan 5
Might have done better for the fourth goal
Callum Doyle 5
Found it difficult, and should have done more to prevent Nketiah nipping in for his second
Carl Winchester 6
Did OK at right wingback and only a good save from Leno prevented him levelling at 2-2
Elliot Embleton 7
Provided the assist for Broadhead and also hit the woodwork himself
Dan Neil 6
Showed some neat touches in the middle of the park
Lynden Gooch 6
A decent outing at left wingback
Alex Pritchard 7
Sunderland's creative spark, he was at the heart of most of Sunderland's best moves
Ross Stewart 6
Worked hard but got little change from Arsenal's centre-backs
Nathan Broadhead 7
Produced a brilliant finish for the goal and always looked a threat until injury cut short his evening
Subs
Denver Hume 5
For Broadhead 45+2mins. Still coming back from injury, but he found Pepe too hot to handle

For Gooch 73mins. Eased his way back into action after a month out through injury
Aiden O'Brien 5
For Embleton 73mins. Didn't really affect the game when he came on
