Arsenal bo s Mikel Arteta described his sides 6-0 thrashing of Sheffield United as a great night as they climbed to within two points of leaders Liverpool.The Gunners dominated from start to finish against a Blades team who looked well beaten after Martin Odegaard, Jayden Bogle Nick Pivetta Jersey s own goal and Gabriel Martinelli had put them 3-0 behind inside 13 minutes.Kai Havertz and Declan Rice put the irrepre sible Londoners 5-0 ahead at half-time and Ben White crashed home their sixth before the hour mark.Arteta, whose sides seventh straight league victory saw them become the first English league side to win three consecutive away games by five or more goals, said: It was a great night.The way we started made a difference. We were really aggre sive and positive and we showed real quality in the final third to take the game into a great position for us.Then we maintained the rhythm, maintained the hunger and I love that about the team.Arsenal struck their fifth goal in the 39th minute, Dave Cash Jersey the earliest an away side has had a five-goal margin in Premier League history.But Arteta warned his side they cannot afford to drop any points between now and the end of the season if they are to pip Liverpool and Manchester City to the title.The fact that were scoring many goals and not conceding is a great sign, but its about winning every game now, the Spaniard said.Thats the demands these two teams have set over the past few years and thats the task ahead of us.Arteta confirmed Bukayo Saka was withdrawn at half-time due to illne s, while Martinelli was Jimmy Foxx Jersey replaced by Gabriel Jesus in the 64th minute after cutting his foot.We need to wait and see how it is, added Arteta on Martinellis setback, which was the only downside to the evening.The Blades, 11 points adrift at the bottom of the table, are the first side in the top four tiers of English football to concede Larry Andersen Jersey five or more goals in four succe sive home games in all competitions.They have now shipped 72 goals in 26 league matches this season and bo s Chris Wilder, who returned for his second spell in charge in December, admitted a lot of his players were broken and damaged.Wilder said: Its been a painful season, a real painful one before me and through my period.Theres a lot of broken and damaged players out there because this is what the league can do to you, especially when youre off it and theyre on it. When you dont close the gap they make it look huge.Wilder said he may now turn to youth for the remainder of the season Oliver Arblaster made his Premier League debut off the bench against the Gunners but insisted his side would not be throwing in the towel.What youll notice and see a little bit more now is the introduction of the younger players because I thought we were better Philadelphia Phillies Jersey when they came on, Wilder added.(Andre) Brooks coming on, (Will) Osula and especially Arblaster coming on, that might be a route now.

Erik ten Hag was proud of Manchester Uniteds dogged display in a hard-fought 0-0 draw at Anfield that ended with Liverpool skipper Virgil van Dijk claiming only one team tried to win.All eyes Kyle Gibson Jersey were on Anfield as the bitter rivals went toe-to-toe on Sunday, with Jurgen Klopps men looking to return to the Premier League summit as the visitors tried to stop the rot.Liverpool had an eye-watering 34 shots acro s the match and United goalkeeper Andre Onana made eight saves, but the hosts could not find a way through.The tense clash ended scorele s and frustrated skipper Van Dijk said United are buzzing to have left with a point.If you see how we played the game, how we obviously had most of the ball and created some opportunities, I think there was only one team that were trying to win the game, the centre-back told Sky Sports.Unfortunately, it didnt happen. So, thats why its frustrating because we want to win every game of course, but especially if we play against a team like them.United manager Ten Hag brushed aside his fellow Dutchmans comment, simply saying in response that its Bert Blyleven Jersey his opinion.The Red Devils bo s also gave little away when it came to his view on Diogo Dalots sending off for a pair of quickfire bookings for di sent, saying I will leave the judgement to you.But Ten Hag was more forthcoming when it came to his sides reaction to their alarming back-to-back Old Trafford defeats to Bournemouth and Bayern Munich.We should have taken more of the ball regains three or four pa ses in where we are capable of and then we could have even hurt the opponent even more, the Dutchman said.But all over in the end, you have to conclude, we had the best chances from open play for Rasmus Hojlund and (Alejandro) Garnacho.I said that Taylor Rogers Jersey after the game in the dre sing room Im very proud of this team. We should do this more often. I said this.For instance, Newcastle was also a tough game, we make one mistake, we switch off and concede the goal.But when you stay in the game, when you are disciplined in your game plan, finally it opens up and you can take your chances or get two, three, four pa ses in after the ball regains, get the switches in and then you can really be more dominant in the game.United end the weekend seventh in the Premier League and the end of Liverpools 100 per cent home record this season means they are sat in second.Arsenals 2-0 win against Brighton in the early kick-off saw them go top and, while claiming it is too early Ervin Santana Jersey to talk about the title, bo s Jurgen Klopp saw promising signs from his side on Sunday.Of course we can improve and now we are in a situation all of a sudden where you are really disappointed when you draw against United, the Liverpool manager said.Thats just its a bit strange but its how it is so its all OK, we are in the position we belong and from here we go and we will see.We have our injuries as well. Nobody speaks about our injuries, but we still have them and it doesnt help obviously with the amount of games especially.It will be really tough and my boys for me today looked like they are really ready C. J. Cron Jersey just to give it a proper try and then we will see what that means exactly.But for today, if you take the right things out of this game then this was a super important game because the counter pre s was the best we played with this group.

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe hailed a big moment in his sides season after they scraped past Championship Blackburn on penalties in the FA Cup on Tuesday.Martin Dubravka saved two spot-kicks as the Magpies prevailed Victor Martinez Jersey 4-3 in the shoot-out after the game had ended 1-1 after extra time.With the club having slipped to 10th in the Premier League in what has been a largely underwhelming campaign after last years top-four finish, the cup now represents the best chance to maintain their upward trajectory.Howe said: Obviously a lot was riding on the outcome so I thought Detroit Tigers Jersey the players handled the moment brilliantly, the goalkeeper and outfield players who took the penalties.It was big moment in our season at such a crucial stage.The players are desperate to achieve. No-one is underestimating the importance of the FA Cup.Howe also praised the heroics of Dubravka after the Slovakia keeper had been ill in the build-up to the game.He said: The two penalty saves were huge for us but in open play I thought he really Josh Harrison Jersey performed well and we needed him to because they had a few big moments.Hes been playing feeling slightly ill and he deserves huge credit for doing that. He was nowhere near fit for the weekend against Arsenal and hasnt been 100 per cent for quite a long period of time.Dubravka kept Blackburn at bay with a number of saves before Newcastle broke the deadlock in the 71st minute through Anthony Gordon.Blackburn responded well and levelled through the impre sive Sammie Szmodics and both sides had chances to win it, in normal time and extra time, but it came down to penalties and Dubravka Sparky Anderson Jersey kept out efforts from Szmodics and Dominic Hyam.Howe said: I thought we got better as it went on. I dont think the first half was particularly good, I thought the second half was better and extra time was Matthew Boyd Jersey our best spell of the game by a long way.Really we shouldnt have allowed it to go to penalties with the chances we mi sed in extra time.Blackburn manager John Eustace was pleased with the effort of his side, who played at a level above that of a team 16th in the Championship.
