When Arsenal failed to deal with a corner deep in their box in the 30th minute of Monday night's tie at Bramall Lane, Lys Mousset exhibited great poacher instincts to poke in what would go on to be the only and winning goal.
It was the Sheffield man's second goal of the season. The Gunners were left to ponder on what could have gone wrong.
The result means Arsenal are in fifth while Sheffield climb into the top half of the table, in ninth place.
Here is a selection of pictures from the action:
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was set to lead the Gunners attack
Arsenal manager Unai Emery was keen to see his marksman shine - and bang in the goals
But at Bramall Lane, the hosts, Sheffield United, were not pushovers
Both managers - Chris Wilder and Unai Emery - were busy on the sidelines
Then came the goal after half-an-hour of play. Lys Mousset stuck out his leg to score the opening goal from a corner
A huge goal it was for the home side
Emery had to find a way to break Sheffield
Home keeper Dean Henderson was drawn into a fine save towards the end of the first half
Second half action saw Arsenal huff and puff for an equaliser
