"Brian Brobbey scored a last-gasp equaliser as high-flying Sunderland held Premier League leaders Arsenal to a 2-2 draw at the Stadium of Light. A stop-start first-half suddenly sparked into life when former Arsenal academy product Dan Ballard sent the hosts ahead with a thumping finish, ending the Gunners' run of eight consecutive clean sheets in all competitions. Bukayo Saka levelled with a low effort after the break and, with Arsenal having controlled most of the game for the second half, Leandro Trossard sent the visitors ahead with a stunning effort from outside the area."
"Early in the game, a cross for Mikel Merino saw him clash with Ballard, leading to a brief stoppage and Declan Rice's curling free-kick was clawed away by Robin Roefs. Rice had a tame strike blocked, but the Gunners then missed a great opportunity when Eze pounced on Enzo Le Fee's misplaced pass and could only loft his shot over the crossbar. There was another stoppage following a clash of heads between Le Fee and Jurriën Timber before Saka had a mild effort held by Roefs."
