Arsenal achieved their seventh Premier League victory in the seven matches played in 2024. Against Sheffied United, The Gunners were infallible and went 0-6 which keeps them in the wake of Manchester City, second by one point, and Liverpool, leader by two points.
Mikel Arteta’s men came out with a crusher in hand – and feet – to destroy Chris Wilder’s team. Not even five minutes had passed when Martin Odegaard was already singing the first of the visit. The Norwegian entered the area and collected a delivery from Declan Rice to open the light with his left foot.
Far from being intimidated by the advantage, and aware that they had to push hard to follow in the wake of those at the top, Arsenal continued to pass by. At 13′ Jayden Bogle had the misfortune of sending Saka’s cross into his own goal, and At 15′ Gabriel Martinelli did the same, on the right side, with the assistance of Kiwior. 0-3 in a quarter of an hour. Omen of the capital bath that would fall.
With Sheffield United gone, their fans chose to do the same, leaving empty spaces in the stands. They preferred the peace of going home early rather than seeing Ivo Grbic suffer more in goal. The former Atlético player would still have to find two more balls in his nets before the break, product of a great cross goal from Kai Havertz and another accurate shot from Declan Rice. Hand to close the first stage.
In the second half, naturally, they jumped more relaxed. This did not mean they were going to leave the goals section of the complement empty. Kai Havertz was once again the protagonist, this time with an assist, looking for Ben White and his arrival in the area. The right back took his best left foot and made it 0-6.
Little could go wrong at this point. Although there is always room for misfortune when it comes to Arsenal. Gabriel Martinelli was injured in the 64th minute, leaving his place for Gabriel Jesús. The Brazilian was the negative note in a day of celebration that keeps them on the lookout for the lead.
