Arsenal 6-0 Sheffield Utd
Even with the added fortune of £30 million in their back pocket Sheffield Utd were unable to defeat an Arsenal side that had an average age of just 18 years old. Niklas Bendtner, one of the more senior players on the pitch, got the goals going scoring 2 great goals set up by the young Aaron Ramsey. Then the young Carlos Vela bagged a sensational hat trick with which included a great curling shot round the Sheffield keeper from a tight angle. It was the young prodigy of Jack Wilshere who netted Arsenal 6th and rounded of an impressive display.

The second half got going with an equalizer in the 56th minute by Adam Johnson, but the 22 men who started the game soon became 21 as Pogatez was sent off for a tackle on young Possebon, a tackle that could of ended his career.
