Arsenal legend Paul Merson has shared his verdict on Monday’s dominant 6-0 victory against Sheffield United.
Many expected an absolute hammering and Arsenal didn’t disappoint.
Sheffield United were chasing shadows from the first whistle and it was no surprise when Arsenal scored an early opener.
Martin Odegaard’s strike was the start of a chastening evening for Sheffield United as Arsenal ran riot.
Jayden Bogle’s own goal was quickly followed by goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Kai Havertz.
Arsenal weren’t done at 4-0 and Declan Rice made it 5-0 before the half-time whistle with Bramall Lane emptying quickly.
Ben White added number six after the break, handing Arsenal a 6-0 win as the Gunners coasted through the second half.
Paul Merson on Arsenal win
This was a stunning display from Arsenal, who just can’t stop scoring at the moment.
Since resuming Premier League action, Arsenal have won seven games in a row, scoring 31 goals and conceding just three.
That is ominous stuff from Arsenal and Gunners legend Paul Merson has offered his reaction to Monday’s victory.
Merson took to social media and simply posted four words on this display – ‘complete dominance from Arsenal’.
A victory was never really in doubt but the ruthless manner of this victory certainly seemed to impress Merson.
Arsenal’s performance just continued a stunning run since the turn of the year, striking fear into their Premier League title rivals.
Arsenal clearly look different to the side City fended off last year and Liverpool saw just how good the Gunners are only a few weeks ago.
Mikel Arteta’s men just don’t seem to be slowing down right now and Merson joined Gunners fans in absolutely loving the performance.
A meeting with City is just around the corner now and with Arsenal hitting this kind of form, Pep Guardiola may be a little worried.
