Arsenal news as the Gunners lay down title ambitions with enormous win over Sheffield United

Arsenal will, it’s almost certain, have tougher games. Their 6-0 win over Sheffield United was perhaps the least surprising result all season.

The Premier League’s form team against comfortably its worst. There was little doubt from the start. Mikel Arteta’s team still had to turn up and get the job done, though, and do it they did.

irst half goals from Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Martinelli, Declan Rice, and Kai Havertz with a Jayden Bogle own goal sent Arsenal on their way to yet another huge victory, with an effort from Ben White making it six . It stretched the gap on goal difference to their rivals after wins for both Manchester City and Liverpool earlier in the weekend.

The distance between the top three remains as it was, but ahead of some season-defining fixtures to come, Arteta’s title gauntlet has been laid down. Here, football.london analyses what the next weeks have in store for those pushing to be crowned champions.
