#sufc 0-6 #afc White adds a sixth with a fierce left-foot shot. Still more than 30 minutes to play.
Ben White makes it 6-0 with a driven strike from outside the box. On his left foot. Just to rub it in.
What odds on Sheffield United conceding at least five goals in four consecutive home games? Pitiful.

Arsenal have now scored as many away Premier League away goals in 2024 (18 in 4 games) as Manchester United have all season (18 in 14 games) 🔴
Sheffield United are the first team in English Football League history to concede 5 goals in 4 consecutive home games across all comps…
So far in 2024, Sheffield United have the fourth most goals at Bramall Lane (4), behind Brighton, Aston Villa and Arsenal.
Brighton’s 5-0 win at Bramall Lane is going to be Sheffield United’s best effort of their three most recent home league games. 85 minutes to get to 5, while it took Aston Villa 47 minutes in their 5-0 win. Arsenal 5-0 up within 39 minutes.
Any Sheffield United fan choosing to leave at half time (or earlier) gets no criticism from me. Horrendous.
Sheffield United fans after Arsenal made it 3-0 https://t.co/BNVMZoRHM9
5-0 #AFC. Rice from Saka's cutback. Rice outstanding in this more advanced role, helped by Jorginho anchoring. And Sheffield United being hopeless. More #twitterblades fans leaving. #SHUARS
Arsenal might score 10. This is glorious.
That is a tremendous goal from Arsenal to make it five. Ball worked into Saka inside the box and his cutback is swept into the far corner by Rice. Easy for the game to flatline when it is this comfortable but they look so hungry.
#sufc 0-5 #afc Saka finds Rice who finishes first time. 39 minutes gone. Got to be a chance of breaking the PL record win here (9-0).
Sheffield United fans leave after just 16 minutes of Arsenal match as Blades branded 'the worst ever team' https://t.co/5rduuWHIY0
Sheff Utd still on course to concede 99 goals this season which would be incredibly frustrating, particularly for people in Swindon
Sheffield United have conceded 19 goals in their last 3.3 home matches. Arsenal have now scored 19 goals in their last 3.3 Premier League matches.

Sheffield United 4-0 down after 24 minutes....
4-0 Arsenal. 25 minutes in. This was getting ugly after three minutes. It is getting so ugly Sheff U fans are pouring out of the stadium already.
#sufc 0-4 #afc Havertz fires in a fourth. More home fans head for the exits.
Sheffield United fans lasted just 16 minutes! https://t.co/0gX4yCjZ22
Arsenal must be eyeing up the Premier League record win here... 9-0 - Manchester Utd v Ipswich (4 March 1995) 9-0 - Manchester Utd Southampton (2 February 2021) 9-0 - Liverpool v Bournemouth (27 August 2022) 0-9 - Southampton v Leicester (25 October 2019)
Could see a smattering of empty seats dotted around Bramall Lane at kick-off. Perhaps some home fans feared the worst here and it has certainly started that way. Arsenal 3-0 up inside 15 minutes and Chris Wilder substitutes Oliver Norwood for Ben Osborn.
QUICK AS A FLASH WE'VE MADE IT THREE! A lovely one-two between Martinelli and Kiwior sees the former curl in another! 🔴 0-3 🟡 (15) https://t.co/81FCpTW15g
Six for Arsenal today? Seven?
#sufc 0-3 #afc Absolutely rampant. Martinelli's shot is deflected in. Can see some home fans leaving their seats. In the 15th minute.
#sufc 0-2 #afc Saka makes headway down the right and his cross is turned in by Bogle for an own goal.
Just turned on the @Arsenal match and it's already 1-0 Gunners in the 7th minute. I know it's @SheffieldUnited but this team is so good. #COYG
BOOOM! 0-1 after 4 minutes… and to be honest, we could be 4 up. We look majestic, Sheff Utd look dreadful. https://t.co/8kLCqLqoLD
