Arsenal continued their ideal start to the Premier League season as they welcomed Sheffield United to the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon. While the Blades had caused plenty of problems for other teams in the title picture, that wouldn't be the case for the Gunners.
A goal from Eddie Nketiah in the first half opened the flood gates for further additions to the scoresheet after the halfway mark in the game. The striker continued his good form with another two strikes that secured a hat-trick and put the match firmly in his side's hands.
Fabio Vieira added another from the penalty spot before Takehiro Tomiyasu scored his first goal for the club in the final moments of stoppage time. It keeps Arsenal in the title hunt during these early stages, but there's some big ties ahead, so here's a look at the next five fixtures to come.
