The Gunners ran riot on Monday night having scored four goals in the space of 20 first-half minutes, with some Blades fans leaving the ground just 15 minutes into the clash.

Having gone in at half time 5-0 up, Mikel Arteta’s side eased up after the break with just one more goal in the second half.

It was a near enough perfect evening for the in-form north Londoners, providing the knock Gabriel Martinelli sustained isn’t too serious, with the result demonstrating the excellent form Arsenal are in.

The 6-0 win means they’re the only side English league football to win three successive away games by 5+ goals, having beaten West Ham by the same scoreline last month as well as winning 5-0 at Burnley in their previous away league fixture.

And Arteta suggested this could be the best performance in his stint as Arsenal manager, which has lasted over four years.
