The Gunners totally dominated the first-half and they were five goals to the good by the break.
The second-half, unsurprisingly, did not match the first and Arsenal only scored one more, as Ben White got in on the act to make it 6-0.
The win moved Arsenal to within two points of League leaders Liverpool and one off Manchester City, who are second.
David Raya 6
Another easy night for the Spaniard, who didn’t have a save to make all game.
Ben White 8
Allowed to get forward as much as he wanted due to Arsenal’s dominance. Scored a brilliant goal with his left foot.
William Saliba 6
Spent nearly all the game camped inside Sheffield United’s half, such was Arsenal’s control. Rarely called upon.
Gabriel 6
Like Saliba, this was a comfortable evening’s work for the Brazilian. He will be expecting much more from Ivan Toney on Saturday.
Jakub Kiwior 7
Like White, he was able to overlap a lot. Made the most of it and setup Arsenal’s third goal.
Martin Odegaard 9
Ran the show in midfield. Sheffield United couldn’t lay a glove on the Arsenal captain. Scored his side’s opener.
Jorginho 7
A cruise for the Italian. Given so much time on the ball and was able to dictate the tempo.
Declan Rice 8
Excelled again in an advanced role. Had a big hand in the opening goal and scored Arsenal’s fifth.
Bukayo Saka 8
Terrorised Sheffield United so much early on that Chris Wilder was forced into an early change of system. Claimed two assists before coming off at half-time.
Kai Havertz 9
A goal and assist for the German, who is continuing to silence his critics. Took his goal really well and his assist for White was excellent too.
Gabriel Martinelli 8
Looked electric from the very start. Finished the game with a goal and assist, but it could have been more. Hobbled off with just under 30 minutes to go.
Substitutions
Fabio Vieira (Saka 45’) 6
Caught the eye with one burst down the right flank.
Cedric (White 65’) 6
On for White and a had solid cameo.
Thomas Partey (Jorginho 65’) 6
Made his first appearance since October. A tad rusty, but looked fine.
Gabriel Jesus (Martinelli 65’) 7
Back for his first minutes since January. Played out left for a bit before moving central. Looked sharp.
Leandro Trossard (Rice 73’) N/A
Subs not used: Ramsdale, Smith Rowe, Nelson, Nketiah.
