Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Emirates Stadium!
  • 5' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 15' David Raya is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Sheffield United FC so far.
  • 20' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 25' Sheffield United FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
  • 28' A stunning finish from Eddie Nketiah — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 33' The 25-year-old Emile Smith Rowe has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 38' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Arsenal FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 43' John Fleck has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 37 cards already picked up this season.
  • 48' With 1 assists to his name this season, Oleksandr Zinchenko is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Arsenal FC.
  • 50' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Eddie Nketiah makes it 2-0.
  • 55' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Arsenal FC and Sheffield United FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.

  • 60' Another change for Sheffield United FC made on 60 minute. Rhian Brewster leaves to be changed by Ben Osborn.
  • 65' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 66' The supporters are chanting for Takehiro Tomiyasu. He replaces Ben White on 66 minute.
  • 70' Poor challenge from Jayden Bogle. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.

  • 74' Fresh legs for Arsenal FC! Fabio Vieira comes on to replace Emile Smith Rowe.
  • 79' Arsenal FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 83' A change in the Sheffield United FC ranks — Gustavo Hamer exits the field as Ryan One enters on 83.
  • 87' Controversy at the stadium! Oliver Norwood argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 88' GOAL! Fabio Vieira fires home to make it 4-0!
