Gnabry, who traded the Gunners for Bundesliga side Werder Bremen, scored three times on his senior international debut for Germany as the World Cup holders thumped San Marino 8-0 in qualifying for Russia 2018.
The 21-year-old only made 10 league appearances for Arsenal during the four years he spent at the club before joining Bremen in on transfer deadline day for a reported £5m.
Wenger was keen for the winger to sign another contract at the club but a lack of first-team opportunities meant Gnabry was keen to move elsewhere.
And upon marking his debut with a hat-trick, his new club took to Twitter to poke fun at his former club Arsenal.
However, it was the Gunners who had the final say as they responded with a picture of Ray Parlour, who scored a treble against the Germans in the Uefa Cup in 2000, with the caption: “On the subject of hat-tricks, remember this?”
Since moving back to Germany, Gnabry has managed four goals and nine assists in the Bundesliga so far, despite Bremen currently languishing in 16th place in the league.
