Arsenal forward Kai Havertz made a unique record during the Gunners' 6-0 win over Sheffield United in the Premier League on Monday (March 4).

Mikel Arteta's Arsenal traveled to Bramall Lane last night to face Chris Wilder's Sheffield United. Martin Odegaard broke the deadlock early in the match by scoring in the fifth minute. An own goal from Jayden Bogle doubled the Gunners' lead (13') before Gabriel Martinelli scored the third goal of the evening just two minutes later (15').

Former Chelsea forward Kai Havertz scored the fourth goal (25') for Arsenal while Declan Rice made it 5-0 in the 39th minute. Ben White made the scoreline more disheartening for the Blades as the Englishman scored the sixth goal of the game (58') in the second half.

With five different goalscorers and an own goal, the Gunners thrashed Sheffield United 6-0. However, German forward Kai Havertz also made an unrepeatable record during the game. As per Sky Sports, Havertz, who scored in the 25th minute, netted the 150,000th goal in the history of the English top flight.

This season, the former Chelsea forward has made 37 appearances for the Gunners, bagging eight goals and three assists. Next up, the Gunners will host Brentford at the Emirates Stadium on March 9 (Saturday).
