If it was a boxing match, the referee would have stopped it. If this was baseball, they would have invoked the mercy rule. If this was a park game, they would have mixed up the teams.
The first half of Sheffield United's match against Arsenal was as one-sided an exhibition of football as has been seen in the Premier League.
Arsenal led 5-0 after 39 minutes - the earliest point at which any side has gained such an advantage in Premier League history.
They had 80% possession and 16 shots on goal - with seven on target - to Sheffield United's one wayward effort.
