Sheff Utd fans spotted streaming out of stadium after 15 mins vs Arsenal – as Wilder makes unforced sub at 3-0 down
SHEFFIELD UNITED fans were seen pouring out of Bramall Lane after conceding three goals in just 15 minutes to Arsenal.
Blades supporters looked to have had enough after watching their side ship goals with ease.
And it would seem that Chris Wilder had seen enough too as he unbelievably made a tactical substitution just moments after the third goal went in.
Oliver Norwood was hooked and replaced by defender Ben Osborne on the 17th minute as Wilder opted for damage limitation for his side.
However the the unforced change did little to change the fortunes of the Yorkshire club who conceded a fourth just eight minutes later.
Fans were chiming in on the early exits online with one writing: “This is going to get very ugly.
“Fans leaving after 15 minutes is a new low. My goodness.”
While another added: “3-0 down at home after 15 mins. Fans leaving. Don’t blame them. I backed 8-0 as a joke but this has a chance lol.”
And a third wrote: “Arsenal making a habit of clearing out home fans during their matches.”
The Gunners already saw West Ham fans head for the hills early when they battered their London rivals earlier in the season.

Mikel Arteta’s side were 4-0 up when Hammers supporters swapped the terraces for the pub and went on to win 6-0.
The Bramall lane faithful were obviously concerned they were going to sit through a similar massacre when their side began leaking goals in the early stages tonight.
Martin Odegaard opened the scoring just five minutes into the game before Jayden Bogle turned the ball into his own net in the 13th minute to make it 2-0.
Goals from Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz and Declan Rice meant Arsenal went in at the break five goals to the good without so much as a shot on target from Sheffield United.
The first half battering forced Wilder to make even more changes at half time in order to try and stop his side from conceding even more than they already had.
The 56-year-old boss made three changes with Tom Davies, Oli McBurnie and James Mcatee being replaced by Andre Brooks, William Osula and George Baldock.
