All the records that tumbled at Sheffield United

For the third away league game in a row, we netted a bag-load of goals to blow Sheffield United away, leaving footballing statisticians scrambling for their record books and calculators.

Another avalanche of Gunners goals brought up many new milestones, as we continue to make history with our purple patch in front of goal, including setting some new benchmarks that have never been reached since the Football League's creation in 1888.

First and foremost, when you consider our last two wins on the road - the emphatic win at West Ham United and our 5-0 success at Burnley - we became the first side in English league football history to win three successive away games by 5+ goals.

In fact, only one other team in English top-flight history has ever scored 5+ goals in three successive away league games, which was the Clarets themselves in September 1961. On the flip side, our opponents became the first side in English league football to lose three consecutive home league games by at least a 5+ goal margin.

It took just 23 days for us to equal our highest-ever Premier League away win, which was set during the win at West Ham last month. In terms of all-time records, the success at Bramall Lane matches our biggest-ever margin of victory away from home, moving alongside 7-1 drubbings of Aston Villa and Wolves in the 1930s, as well as the win at the London Stadium.

However we once again fell just short of our biggest-ever away win, which came in the UEFA Cup Winners Cup against Standard Liege when we won 7-0 in November 1993.

Our first-half domination saw us go 5-0 ahead after 39 minutes, and that was the earliest an away side has had that big a lead in Premier League history. It also saw us become the first team in the competition’s history to score twice in eight successive halves of matches.

The 11 goals we’ve netted against the Blades this season is also the joint most we’ve scored against an opponent in a single Premier League campaign, pulling level with the 11 scored against Everton in 2004/05 and Derby County three seasons later, and we surpassed the 300 league goals mark under Mikel Arteta's stewardship.

In terms of individual accomplishments, Bukayo Saka registered his 50th assist for the club in all competitions, while Kai Havertz has now both scored and assisted in each of his last two league games, becoming the first player to do so for us since Henrikh Mkhitaryan in February 2019.

Kai’s goal was also the 150,000th scored in England’s top-flight stretching all the way back to the end of the 19th century, while we also brought up a big milestone ourselves. Ben White capped the game off with our sixth of the night, which was the 10,000th goal in our history.
