Arsenal cruised to a seventh successive Premier League win as they eased past Sheffield United side at Bramall Lane.
The Gunners recorded a 6-0 win over the Blades at Bramall Lane on Monday night. Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Martinelli, Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Ben White were all on the score sheet for Arsenal, along with a Jayden Bogle own goal.
The win moved Mikel Arteta's side back to just two points behind leaders Liverpool in the Premier League table. Manchester City are also one point ahead of the Gunners in second place, with a busy run-in expected for all three title-chasing teams.
Arsenal were without some key players for the game. And following the victory, concerns emerged over the fitness of Bukayo Saka and Martinelli after they were substituted during the game.
Bukayo Saka was substituted at half-time during Arsenal's win over Sheffield United at Bramall Lane. Speaking after the game, Mikel Arteta confirmed that the change was due to the England international feeling sick.
