Gunners stay competitive with the top teams by convincingly defeating struggling Sheffield United.
In a dominant display, Arsenal showcased their title credentials with a resounding 6-0 victory over Sheffield United at Bramall Lane. The Gunners wasted no time in asserting their dominance, quickly closing the gap to the top of the Premier League table.
Martin Odegaard opened the scoring for Arsenal, celebrating his goal alongside teammate Kai Havertz. The floodgates then opened, with Jayden Bogle scoring an own goal and Gabriel Martinelli and Kai Havertz adding to the tally. Declan Rice further extended Arsenal’s lead, ensuring they equaled the record for the most goals scored by a team in the first half of a Premier League match.
Despite their abysmal performance, Sheffield United showed some resistance in the second half. However, their efforts were in vain as Ben White unleashed a powerful strike from the right side of the area, further compounding the Blades’ misery.
With this victory, Arsenal now sit just two points behind league leaders Liverpool, who are set to face Manchester City in a crucial clash next weekend. The Gunners will be aiming to secure their eighth consecutive league win and claim the top spot when they host Brentford on Saturday.
On the other hand, Sheffield United’s woes continue as they remain rooted to the bottom of the table, a staggering 11 points away from safety. Their next challenge will be an away trip to Bournemouth.
