Arsenal held by spirited Sunderland after late drama in 2-2 draw
Sunderland continued their impressive return to the Premier League with a spirited performance against Arsenal, holding the in-form Gunners to a dramatic draw.
The Black Cats, who have been a breath of fresh air since their promotion, showed no fear against a side that had won ten straight games in all competitions.
Their early dominance paid off when Daniel Ballard, a product of the Arsenal academy, fired home the opener, ending Arsenal’s 812-minute run without conceding.
Arsenal responded strongly after the break. Declan Rice won possession in midfield, setting up Bukayo Saka, who drilled in a right-footed strike at the near post to level the score.
Martin Zubimendi came close to putting Arsenal ahead with a thunderous shot that rattled the woodwork before Leandro Trossard curled a stunning 20-yard effort into the top corner, appearing to seal the win.

However, Sunderland refused to surrender. After David Raya initially denied substitute Brobbey, the forward made no mistake when another chance came his way, securing a memorable equaliser for the hosts and sending the home crowd into wild celebration.
