Sunderland snap Arsenal’s winning run in Premier League title twist
Arsenal’s 10-game winning run in all competitions was ended by Brian Brobbey’s stoppage-time equaliser that salvaged a 2-2 draw for Sunderland on Saturday.
The Gunners had not conceded for eight games before Saturday but could only extend their lead at the top of the Premier League over Manchester City, who host Liverpool on Sunday, to seven points.
Dan Ballard ended the Gunners’ run of clean sheets since September 28 to fire the Black Cats in front.
Victory would have lifted newly-promoted Sunderland into second, but thunderous finishes from Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard turned the game around for Mikel Arteta’s men in the second half.
They could not close out a vital three points, however, as Brobbey outmuscled the normally imperious Gabriel Magalhaes to hook in Ballard’s flick on.
