Arsenal showcased a spectacular attacking display in a historic 6-0 victory over Sheffield United, asserting their dominance and closing the gap to Premier League leaders. Mikel Arteta’s side, aware of their title rivals’ results, entered Bramall Lane with purpose.
They wasted no time, with Martin Odegaard opening the scoring early. The floodgates then opened, culminating in an onslaught of goals before halftime: Bukayo Saka forced an own goal, Gabriel Martinelli and Kai Havertz added to the tally, and Declan Rice’s finish made it five. Ben White completed the rout with a thunderous strike in the second half.
Arsenal’s relentless attack not only secured their seventh consecutive league win but also etched their name in the history books as the first English side to win three consecutive away games by a margin of five or more goals. Conversely, Sheffield United endured a humiliating defeat, becoming the first team in English football history to concede five goals in four consecutive home games across all competitions. Despite Gabriel Martinelli’s injury concern, Arsenal’s performance solidified their title credentials, leaving their opponents reeling and the league leaders wary of their resurgence.
