Arsenal had an amazing game and won 6-0 against Sheffield United in the Premier League.
This victory is extra special because it’s their seventh win in a row, and now they’re just two points behind Liverpool, who are at the top of the league.
This win also made Arsenal the first English team ever to win three away games in a row by a margin of five or more goals. The team, led by manager Mikel Arteta, showed how strong they are in attack, with six different players scoring goals.
Captain Martin Odegaard set the tone early with a goal in the fifth minute. Then, Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Jayden Bogle, Declan Rice, and Ben White all scored to make it an impressive victory.
The game was so one-sided that some fans of the home team, Sheffield United, left the stadium as early as the 25th minute. Arsenal even tied a record for scoring the most goals in the first half of a league game. They did something similar in their recent wins against West Ham (6-0) and Burnley (5-0).
Even though Arsenal lost Gabriel Martinelli to an ankle injury in the 64th minute, they still did great. Now, their goal difference is better than Liverpool and Manchester City, putting them in third place in the league.
Manager Arteta was happy with how the team played and said, “When you are winning, everything is easier; we have to maintain momentum now.”
While Arsenal is doing great, Sheffield United is still struggling. They are in last place and 11 points away from safety. Coach Chris Wilder admitted that Arsenal played well, saying, “They cut us wide open; they are doing that to a lot of teams.”
As Arsenal keeps doing well, the competition for the Premier League title is getting more exciting. They are ready to challenge Liverpool and Manchester City in the upcoming games. Arsenal’s determination to win is making this football season even more thrilling.
