A virtuoso performance from Dennis Bergkamp inspired Arsenal to victory. Thanks to Bergkamp's vision and touch Arsenal had scored twice in the opening 12 minutes, the Dutchman setting up Robin van Persie and Robert Pires.
Bergkamp's pbutt for Arsenal's third was even better, releasing Patrick Vieira who deftly chipped Richard Wright.
After the break Pires bagged a second, Edu fired in a penalty, Bergkamp capped a superb display with the sixth, with Mathieu Flamini completing the rout.
Arsenal's control was so total that manager Arsene Wenger was able to introduce Thierry Henry after the break, the Frenchman's return from a groin injury a timely boost ahead of the FA Cup Final.
Everton were restricted to a few hurried shots, two from Mikel Arteta and one from James Beattie.
The margin of Arsenal's victory - a record win under Arsene Wenger and a record defeat in the Premiership for Everton - was even more astonishing given the Toffees' qualification for the Champions League.
Visiting manager David Moyes, who had asked his team to enjoy the occasion after securing fourth place in the Premiership, ordered them to go and apologise to their travelling fans at the end.
