Arsenal continued to make sure that it's a 3-way battle for the Premier League title as they thrashed Sheffield United 6-0 on Monday night to keep title hopes alive.

Martin Odegaard put the Gunners ahead after just 5 minutes with their 26th Premier League goal of 2024. Arsenal raced to a 3-0 lead inside 13 minutes and led 5-0 at half-time against the league's bottom side.

Apart from Odegaard, Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Declan Rice and Ben White scored, while an own goal from Jayden Bogle made it 6 for Mikel Arteta's side.

The Gunners became the first English league side to win 3 consecutive away games by a margin of 5 or more goals. On the other hand, Sheffield United is 11 points from safety with just 11 games remaining.
