Arsenal continued their winning spree and trend of scoring in the Premier League with a 6-0 win over bottom-placed Sheffield United.
The Gunners travelled to Bramall Lane in a bid to match the results of Liverpool and Manchester City and keep pace in the title race.
Mikel Arteta’s men wasted no time and got the needed three points spectacularly, putting six past the basement side of the Premier League.
Arsenal took the lead just four and a half minutes into the game with a goal from Martin Odegaard, assisted by Declan Rice in the box.
They made it two in the 13th minute when Bogle deflected Bukayo Saka’s cross into the net.
Two minutes later, Jakob Kiwior and Martinelli exchanged a couple of passes in the box, before the Brazilian fired past the helpless Ivo Grbic to make it three.
Kai Havertz struck into the bottom corners to make it four in the 25th minute, and just before half-time, Saka cut back to Rice to make it five.
Arsenal dropped the tempo in the second half, only scoring once, in the 58th minute, when Benjamin White fired a rocket past Grbic after Havertz set him up.
The Gunners are now in position three a point behind Manchester City and just two points behind the current position holders Liverpool.
For the first time in a long time, Arteta’s boys have the highest goal difference against last year’s title holders.
Arsenal’s next game will be against Brentford, which will take place on the 9th of March at the Gunner’s home ground the Emirates Stadium.
With just 11 games before the season comes to an end, can Arsenal continue with the winning streak?
