By 39 minutes, Arsenal were five goals ahead, which is the earliest an away side has had a five-goal margin in Premier League history. Top of the Premier League Pos Team P W D L GD Pts 1 Liverpool 27 19 6 2 39 63 2 Man City 27 19 5 3 35 62 3 Arsenal 27 19 4 4 45 61 It is difficult to measure momentum in football but it is built into the algorithm of all title races. A signing mocked in the early months of the season, the German has scored and assisted in each of his last two league games, becoming the first Arsenal player to do so in successive matches since Henrikh Mkhitaryan in February 2019. It was almost cruel watching Sheffield United try to keep the ball in the first half with every Arsenal player based in the attacking third.
