Arsenal They are a team that hits the mark wherever they go in England and the first in more than sixty years to score five or more goals in three consecutive away games, after beating Sheffield United this Monday (0-6).
The 'Gunners' responded with the air of candidates to the fight that Liverpool and Manchester City threw at them by winning their games this weekend. Under pressure from the leaders, Arsenal responded with another win, the fifth in a row in the Premier Leauge after the three goals against Liverpool, the six against West Ham United, the five against Burnley and the four against Newcastle United.
Mikel Arteta and their team already has a better goal difference than Liverpool and Manchester City, with a cushion of six goals. The one who had to be crushed this Monday was the weak and bottom team Sheffield United, who suffered three goals in fifteen minutes and saw their fans parade when the stopwatch had not even reached 20.
Before the first minute of play was up, Arsenal sent the first warning with a shot against the crossbar by Bukayo Saka and Chris Wilder's men did not even have time to take a breather. Martinelli combined with Declan Rice, who unmarked himself to the baseline to cross the ball, Kai Havertz let it pass and Martin Odegaard made it 0-1.
That goal opened the cascade, which was soon completed by Saka, with a cross that Robinson scored into his own goal, and Martinelli, the best of the first minutes, with a shot that touched a defender of the Sheffield United and misled the goalkeeper.
With a recovery from the Brazilian and a cross whip from Havertz, the fourth came in just 25 minutes. The local fans couldn't stand it and began to parade through the vomitories. Many of them missed Rice's fifth goal, the result of another Saka run down the wing.
The 'Blades' at that time became the third team in Premier League history to concede five or more goals on six occasions in a single season, while Arsenal are the second team in history, after Burnley in 1961, to score at least five goals in three consecutive away games.
“It's a disgrace,” said former footballer Jamie Carragher on Sky Sports. “It's one of the most unequal first halves I've ever seen,” added the now commentator, while a distress message sounded on the Bramall Lane public address system for the fans who were still in the stadium: “Thank you, your support is appreciated and necessary “.
Fortunately for Chris Wilder's men, Arsenal slowed down and saved their troops. It didn't take long for Saka, Martinelli, Jorginho and Rice to go to the bench, giving minutes to the less common players and a Thomas Partey who returned to play many months later.
Ben White still had a bullet left in the chamber, after a great play by Havertz, and the
Arsenal rounded off the match with sixth.
The 'Gunners' don't lose track of Liverpool and City and They are one point behind the 'Sky Blues' and two behind the 'Reds'. A draw in the match that these two teams will play next day, together with a victory for Arsenal at home against Brentford, would put Arteta's team leaders with ten games left in the league.
