    FT: Arsenal 2-1 Sheff U!!! All over at the Emirates. Arsenal were the better team, but it looked it would end goalless until Saka rounded off a brilliant team move on the hour mark. Pepe made it 2-0 four minutes later and the game looked done, but McGoldrick set up a grandstand finish seven minutes from time. He even had a shot deflected behind in stoppage time and Arsenal were really hanging on at the end.

de Arsenal en el 61'

  • 45'
    HT: Arsenal 0-0 Sheff U! No score at the Emirates at the interval and it's been a fairly average first half apart from Ramsdale's terrific save to deny Aubameyang in the 38th minute. Arsenal have had plenty of possession and been the better side, but neither keeper has had much to do apart from that. Back for more in a bit!

    That chance woke us all up! Aubameyang is getting treatment here. That looked quite as nasty challenge on his ankle. He's in some pain.

    McGoldrick hits one well wide of the goal. That was never going in...
  • 35'
    Sheff U send a ball into box via Osborn and Egan crashes into Leno.

    Bellerin runs into the box, he then passes back to Willian and the Brazilian's cross along the ground is easily claimed by the goalie.

    The corner is flicked on by Sheff U, but Berge is offside.
  • 5'
    A Sheff U free-kick is headed away initially, but then the Blades win a corner.
  • 4'
