Some home fans left their seats and were seen heading to the exits inside Bramall Lane after 25 minutes when Kai Havertz made it 4-0, adding to strikes from Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Martinelli either side of an own-goal by Jayden Bogle.

With supporters in the away end singing 바카라�We바카라�re gonna score in a minute,바카라� Declan Rice slotted home a fifth in the 39th minute. It meant Arsenal scored five goals in three straight away league games 바카라� after West Ham (6-0) and Burnley (5-0) 바카라� and tied the record for most goals scored in the first half of a league game.

The visitors weren바카라�t finished there, with right back Ben White becoming the sixth different scorer when lashing a left-foot shot into the far corner in the 58th.

At that stage, Arsenal looked a good bet to threaten the most goals scored by a team in a league game and the competition바카라�s biggest margin of victory, with three clubs 바카라� Liverpool, Leicester and Manchester United (twice) 바카라� having won 9-0 down the years.

However, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta바카라�s decision to make a raft of substitutions 바카라� including removing Bukayo Saka at halftime and others like Rice and Jorginho later on 바카라� broke his team바카라�s rhythm and Sheffield United바카라�s players could breathe slightly easier.

Still, it was a good night for Arsenal바카라�s goal difference, which is now far superior to that of Liverpool and Man City. Arsenal stayed in third place, two points behind Liverpool and a point adrift of City, and has won seven straight games in the league.

바카라�A great performance and a big result for us again with the amount of goals we scored and the clean sheet,바카라� Arteta said. 바카라�The team shows signs of wanting more. That바카라�s very positive.바카라�

The only negative on the night was the sight of Martinelli being helped off with a right ankle injury in the 64th.

Arteta said Martinelli sustained a cut, while Saka was removed because he was feeling sick.

Arsenal could climb into first place 바카라� if only briefly 바카라� by beating Brentford on Saturday, ahead of Liverpool hosting Man City on Sunday.

바카라�The energy is really good at the moment,바카라� Arteta said. 바카라�When you are winning, everything is easier. We have to maintain momentum now.바카라�

Sheffield United, which has already lost 8-0 to Newcastle and 5-0 to Brighton at home this season, stayed in last place, 11 points adrift of safety with 11 games remaining in its first season back in the top-flight.

바카라�It바카라�s a painful season 바카라� the boys are a damaged group of players,바카라� said Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder, whose team has conceded 72 goals in 27 games. 바카라�It바카라�s a long season and we바카라�ve taken some big hits.바카라�

Wilder said he might start giving some of his squad바카라�s younger players a chance with the team바카라�s survival prospects looking bleak.
