Arsenal matched their biggest Premier League away win when they thrashed Sheffield United 6-0 on March 4. The Gunners scored five times in the first half, dismantling their opponents and moving within two points of leaders Liverpool.
Arsenal Ruthless Performance
Arsenal were ruthless in their attacking display, carving through Sheffield United’s defence with ease from the outset. Captain Martin Odegaard opened the scoring in the fifth minute, firing home from close range after a clever cutback from Declan Rice.
Jayden Bogle then put through his own goal in the 13th minute, before Gabriel Martinelli doubled Arsenal’s lead two minutes later, sending scores of weary United fans to the Bramall Lane exits. Kai Havertz extended Arsenal’s lead in the 25th minute, before Rice made it 5-0 just before half-time. Ben White added a sixth goal for Arsenal in the 58th minute, with six different players getting on the scoresheet.
Sheffield United Defensive Woes
Sheffield United had no answer to Arsenal’s attacking prowess. They were repeatedly caught out of position, and their goalkeeper, Ivo Grbic, was forced to make a number of saves to prevent the scoreline from becoming even more embarrassing.
Arsenal Momentum
Arsenal’s victory over Sheffield United was their seventh consecutive win in the Premier League. They are now gaining momentum at just the right time, keeping the pressure on the top two teams.
Conclusion
Arsenal’s 6-0 thrashing was a momentous achievement. They became the first English side to win three consecutive away matches by a margin of five or more goals since Burnley in September 1961. They also matched their biggest Premier League away win, which was a 6-0 rout of West Ham United on February 11.
The Gunners are now in a strong position to challenge for the Premier League title. They have a talented squad, a good manager, and plenty of momentum.
