Premier League 2

Striker hits 19-minute hat-trick as Gunners come from behind to beat Reading 5-2

Yaya Sanogo scored a hat-trick as Arsenal fought back to beat Reading 5-2 in Division 1.

Reading took a two-goal lead through Andrija Novakovich and a deflected effort from Jordan Holsgrove at their training ground, before Mathieu Debuchy pulled one back for the Gunners just before half-time.

Sanogo took centre stage after the break, scoring three times in 19 minutes. Arsenal’s other goal came from Cohen Bramall.

The defeat means Reading stay bottom of the table with only two matches left to play. Arsenal remain fourth.
