Arsenal etched their name into the annals of football history with a remarkable 6-0 triumph over Sheffield United on Monday.

In a dazzling display of attacking prowess, Martin Odegaard, an own goal by Jayden Bogle, Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, and Declan Rice propelled the Gunners to a commanding 5-0 lead by halftime, with Ben White sealing the victory with a composed finish.

Mikel Arteta’s side achieved a historic feat, becoming the first team in English top-flight history to secure three consecutive away wins by a margin of five or more goals.

Conversely, Sheffield United endured a nightmarish outing, becoming the inaugural Premier League team to concede five or more goals in three consecutive home matches.

Arsenal’s scintillating streak of 31 goals across seven consecutive Premier League victories since the winter break has fortified their position and created a significant goal difference advantage over their title rivals.

Maintaining their grip on third place, Arsenal trail league leaders Liverpool by a mere two points and defending champions Manchester City by just one. However, the Gunners have an opportunity to ascend to the summit with a win against Brentford, setting the stage for a pivotal clash between Liverpool and City at Anfield.

From the onset at Bramall Lane, Arsenal asserted their dominance, with Bukayo Saka striking the crossbar within minutes. Odegaard’s early goal set the tone for the evening, with Saka orchestrating the attack and contributing two assists before halftime.

Martinelli’s deflected effort compounded Sheffield United’s woes, prompting manager Chris Wilder to make tactical adjustments to no avail. Havertz and Rice added to the tally before halftime, propelling Arsenal to an insurmountable lead.

Despite Martinelli’s injury forcing an early exit, Arsenal continued to dominate, with White completing the scoring and matching the club’s record Premier League away victory, set just last month against West Ham.

As Sheffield United languish at the bottom of the table, Arsenal’s resurgence fuels hope of a first league title in two decades, positioning themselves as formidable contenders with 11 games remaining in the season.
