Arsenal’s deplorable performance when these teams last met, in a 1-0 home win for Sheffield United on 21 October 2019, was one of the showings that set Unai Emery’s transfer in train.
On this beautiful day in north London, Mike Dean made his 500th Premier League game.
Our Major Previews
There was an early booking for Oliver Norwood after he cynically took down Lacazette. (4 mins).
There was a big chance for Sheffield United to open the scoring. Mousset meets a cross with a header, but he only directs it over the bar. (8 mins).
In the 45th minute, there was a major key event where Martinelli scored the first goal for Arsenal. It was Saka who played the ball in, and Martinelli converted it to give the home side the advantage.

In the 69th minute, There was a huge penalty shout for Arsenal! Pepe was taken down by O’Connell and it looked a stonewall pen but Mike Dean waved it away, VAR took a look and decided no spot-kick. (That was a penalty for us).

Incase Sheffield United ended up getting something from this game. That penalty call will be a huge talking point. We can’t understand why it wasn’t given.
In the 83rd minute, Sheffield United’s Fleck was the man who brought them level with a strike from inside the box. (Goal..). This goal really stunned the Emirates with only 7 minutes remaining.
Here is everything you need to know about the match.
