Description:
Sheffield United supporters were seen leaving Bramall Lane inside the opening 15 after Arsenal's blistering start to their Premier League clash. <br/><br/>The Gunners raced into a four-goal lead against the Blades within half an hour after goals from Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli, and a Jayden Bogle own goal.<br/><br/>As they did so, large sections of home supporters were caught on camera making their way to the exits of the stadium. <br/><br/>The Gunners took the lead inside five minutes as Odegaard provided a sweeping finish to a well-worked move before Martinelli doubled their advantage shortly after.<br/><br/>Then, as Jayden Bogle inadvertently steered the ball into his own net, that's when some fans decided to call their evening short and head for the exit.<br/><br/>And it didn't take long for users on social media to weigh in on the Blades' performance - with some providing some rather brutal takes.<br/><br/>'Sheffield United are one of the worst teams the PL has seen for quite some time,' one fan wrote. <br/><br/>Another said: 'Sheffield United is most pointless premier league team in a while, at least Luton is putting up a bit of a fight vs the better teams'.<br/><br/>'Sheffield United would’ve been as well staying in the dressing room. They are absolutely woeful, and their left back should maybe just consider retirement. <br/><br/>'This could genuinely be double figures if Arsenal want it,' another user said.<br/><br/>In a long post, one fan said: 'I know Derby once registered 15 points in an entire Premier League campaign, but I refuse to believe there has ever been a worse top-flight outfit than this Sheffield United team. <br/><br/>'I genuinely feel sorry for them; they’re so far out of their depth it’s embarrassing.' <br/><br/>Another first half referred to the fans departing early, as they wrote: 'Fans leaving on 15 minutes has to be a new record hahaha'. <br/><br/>With five minutes remaining in the first-half, Declan Rice added a fifth for Arsenal as he struck a neat right-foot effort into the bottom corner. <br/><br/>Defender Ben White later scored a sixth for the Gunners in the 57th minute, with a sensational strike from just inside the box.<br/><br/>In doing so, Sheffield United became the first team in English Football League history to concede five goals in four consecutive home games across all competitions.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, the Gunners will move within two points of league leaders Liverpool with a victory at Bramall Lane. <br/><br/>They've now scored five or more goals in three of their last four Premier League outings. <br/>
