The first half of Sheffield United vs. Arsenal was the most lopsided football exhibition in Premier League history.
After 39 minutes, Arsenal was up 5-0, the earliest advantage an away team has ever had in Premier League history.
Compared to Sheffield United’s lone misdirected shot, they had 80% of the possession and seven of their 16 shots on goal were on target.
Even though United has been outclassed frequently in the Premier League this year—including an 8-0 home loss to Newcastle in September—some commentators saw this game as a true low point.
At halftime, news Sports pundit Jamie Carragher declared, “That half of football was a disgrace.”
“It’s certainly among the worst shows I’ve ever witnessed. That was the worst thing I have ever witnessed in a football half.
