Substitute Emmanuel Adebayor struck his second hat-trick against Derby this season as Arsenal ran riot at Pride Park.

The Gunners, 5-0 winners at the Emirates Stadium earlier in the season, made sure of third spot with a rousing second-half performance against the relegated Rams, who moved a step closer to being named the Premier League's worst ever side.

Arsene Wenger's side could count themselves fortunate to lead 2-1 at the break after goals from Nicklas Bendtner and Robin van Persie either side of a Jay McEveley effort.

Theo Walcott was on target too, but the second half belonged to Arsenal's Togo international who struck three times to take his season's tally to 30, with Rob Earnshaw grabbing a consolation in this eight-goal thriller.
