The last season’s Premier League team West Bromwich Albion was playing this game as a home side. But it was not a good match for the Valerien Ismael’s (West Bromwich manager) side.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was starting in this League Cup tie after missing the first two Premier League games of the new season due to COVID-19. The 32-year-old Gabonese forward made a comeback with a bang as he scored a hat-trick in this match. Aubameyang was the one who opened the scoring for Arsenal in the 17th minute.
