Sheffield United fans were seen leaving Bramall Lane within the first 15 minutes after Arsenal’s spectacular start to their Premier League clash.
The Gunners took a four-goal lead against the Blades half an hour later thanks to goals from Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli and an own goal from Jayden Bogle.
As they did so, large sections of the home fans were caught on camera heading towards the exits of the stadium.
The Gunners took the lead within five minutes when Odegaard completed a well-worked move before Martinelli doubled their lead soon after.
Then, when Jayden Bogle inadvertently directed the ball into his own goal, that’s when some fans decided to cut the evening short and head for the exit.

‘I really feel for them; They are so out of reach it’s embarrassing.
