Arsenal preserved their unblemished start to the Premier League campaign with a 2-0 victory over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
The visiting side secured all three points despite facing a spirited challenge from the hosts, who pushed hard to salvage something from the contest. The match was ultimately decided by a penalty converted by Bukayo Saka, which effectively silenced any Sunderland hopes of forcing a draw.
The result ensures Arsenal remain the only team in the division to have won every game so far this season. Sunderland, meanwhile, could only admire the Gunners’ resilience as they fought back from behind to keep the scoreline respectable.
Sunderland actually pushed hard for a while there. Hard to believe they are still winless.
Saka proving he is the clutch player we all dreamed of. That penalty settled it dead.
