Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Emirates Stadium. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Arsenal FC and Sheffield United FC.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Arsenal FC that had 420 games and scored 734 goals.
  • 10' Arsenal FC are deployed in a 4-3-3 today, looking to exploit space against Sheffield United FC's 4-4-2 shape.
  • 15' Arsenal FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Sheffield United FC backline.
  • 20' Arsenal FC have won 734 goals from 420 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 25' Over 25 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 28' GOAL! Eddie Nketiah fires home to make it 1-0!
  • 33' It looks surprising Arsenal FC does not make any changes. James McAtee has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 38' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 43' It looks like no one’s ball. Arsenal FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 48' Emile Smith Rowe is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Sheffield United FC tonight.
  • 50' Eddie Nketiah does the damage! The net is bulging and Arsenal FC surge ahead!
  • 55' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 58' Eddie Nketiah doubles the advantage! 3-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 60' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Ben Osborn.
  • 60' A tactical swap from Sheffield United FC — Ben Osborn on, Rhian Brewster off on 60 minutes.
  • 65' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Jayden Bogle suffering a number of foals already.
  • 66' Ben White makes way for Takehiro Tomiyasu at the 66 minute mark. A tactical switch from Arsenal FC.
  • 70' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Jayden Bogle on 70 minutes.
  • 72' A tactical swap from Sheffield United FC — John Fleck on, James McAtee off on 72 minutes.
  • 73' The Arsenal FC bench stirs into life. Bukayo Saka is withdrawn and Reiss Nelson gets his opportunity.
  • 74' Another substitution for Arsenal FC to replace Emile Smith Rowe by Fabio Vieira on 74 minute.
  • 79' It is a cagey affair so far. Arsenal FC in their 4-3-3 trying to find a way past Sheffield United FC's compact 4-4-2.
  • 83' A change in the Sheffield United FC ranks — Gustavo Hamer exits the field as Ryan One enters on 83.
  • 87' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Oliver Norwood on 87 minutes.
  • 88' Against the run of play, Fabio Vieira has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 90' Arsenal FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Mohamed Elneny is hanging Declan Rice on the field on 90 minute.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Sheffield United FC.
