Events

Match Events

  • 5' The travelling Arsenal FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 10' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 15' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for John Fleck on 15 minutes.
  • 20' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 25' Martinelli is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Sheffield United FC so far.
  • 30' The deadlock is broken! Lys Mousset gets on the scoresheet on 30 minutes.
  • 35' Bukayo Saka is having his name booked by the referee on 35.
  • 39' Sheffield United FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 39.
  • 44' Sheffield United FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Arsenal FC backline.
  • 46' Dani Ceballos is ready to make an impact after coming on for Joe Willock at the 46 minute mark.
  • 51' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 56' Sheffield United FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Billy Sharp is hanging Lys Mousset on the field on 56 minute.
  • 61' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 66' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for David McGoldrick.

  • 83' 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 Bernd Leno suffering a number of foals already.
  • 85' It is a substitution in Sheffield United FC team. Oliver Norwood is replaced by Oliver McBurnie on 85 minute.
  • 86' The referee shows Arsenal FC player a Yellow card on 86.
