During the intense match between Sheffield United and Arsenal, Gabriel Martinelli suffered a potential foot injury and needed assistance to leave the pitch. This added to Arsenal's worries as fellow player Bukayo Saka was also subbed off in the second half due to a potential injury.
Despite these concerns, Arsenal managed to secure a convincing 6-0 victory at Bramall Lane, closing the gap between them and Premier League title rivals Liverpool and Manchester City to just two points. The first half alone saw five goals from Martin Odegaard, a Jayden Bogle own goal, Martinelli, Kai Havertz, and Declan Rice. Ben White added a sixth goal in the second half, solidifying Arsenal's dominance on the field.
However, the mood was dampened at full-time when Martinelli had to be replaced by Gabriel Jesus in the 63rd minute due to his injury. Saka was also seen speaking to the club physio during half-time, raising concerns that he may have also picked up an injury.
Fortunately, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta provided some clarity on the situation post-match, stating that Saka was feeling unwell and needed to be substituted for Fabio Vieira. As for Martinelli, he had a minor cut on his foot and the team will need to assess the severity of the injury.
Despite these setbacks, Arsenal have the opportunity to go top of the table on Saturday evening when they face Brentford. And if the Liverpool vs Manchester City match on Sunday ends in a draw, Arsenal will maintain their top spot. Manager Mikel Arteta was pleased with the team's performance against Sheffield United, praising their quality, aggression, and determination on the field.
