Bukayo Saka fechou o jogo no último minuto do tempo de acréscimo, vindo de pênalti, para fazer com que os campeões em exercício tenham quatro vitórias na liga em quatro jogos.

It could have been different had Enzo Le Fee found the net, but Arteta blasted the decision by referee John Brooks to award a penalty when Ezri Konsa was penalised for pulling down Dan Ballard as a corner was played in.

It was far from a vintage Arsenal display against a tenacious Sunderland, who ⁠deserved something for their endeavour, but they dug deep and showed the resilience ⁠that helped them win a first title for 22 years last season.

Eles agora mantiveram quatro jogos sem sofrer gols em seus cinco jogos desde o início da temporada, incluindo a vitória na Liga dos Campeões contra o Napoli no meio da semana.

Summer signing Guimaraes replaced Myles ⁠Lewis-Skelly at half-time and made a stunning impact.

After receiving a pass from Declan Rice, he sent a right-footed curler into the top corner.

Arsenal were forced to ⁠defend desperately at times as Sunderland’s physicality rattled them, but ⁠Saka netted his third goal of the season when he beat Robin Roefs with his spot-kick after being fouled by Reinildo Mandava, who was sent off.

Manchester City, o único outro time que não perdeu pontos na Premier League nesta temporada, pode se juntar ao Arsenal com 12 pontos se vencer o Manchester United no domingo.
