A match in the 11th round of the Premier League started, with Arsenal visiting Sunderland. Arsenal achieved 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the first 10 league games, beating many giants to the top of the rankings. In the Champions League, Arsenal also performed extremely well, winning all four group stage games. Arsenal have been in extremely good form recently, winning 10 consecutive games and keeping clean sheets in 9 of them, which is incredible. This time Arsenal faced the dark horse Sunderland. As a result, Arsenal overturned, suffered a tragic draw, and their 10-game winning streak was ended.

Arsenal has a 4231 formation for this game. Merlino was at the front. The attacking combination of Trossard, Eze and Saka worked together. Rice and Subimendi form a double defensive midfielder. The back four of Calafiore, Gabriel, Saliba and Timber started. David Raya serves as the starting goalkeeper. Odegaard, Djekereis, Madueke and Havertz are all out due to injuries.

Arsenal conceded the first goal in the game. In the 36th minute, Ballard received Mugele's header in the penalty area and calmly volleyed the goal. Arsenal didn't equalize until the 54th minute. Saka scored with a volley from the right side of the penalty area. Trossard then opened Sunderland's door with a world wave, and Arsenal took the lead. However, Arsenal did not expand the score afterwards and suffered a heavy blow in stoppage time. Brobey scored a very difficult shot, completing the tie! Very incredible! Arteta is furious! The final score is 2-2!

In this game, Arsenal had a ball possession rate of 65%, 17 shots, 7 shots on target, and 2 goals scored. Sunderland didn't have many chances, with only 6 shots on goal, and 2 of them were converted into goals. Facts have proved that no matter how good Arsenal's defense is, there will still be loopholes. Sunderland, the newly promoted team, once again impressed people and played a very high-quality game.

The last time Arsenal was tied after the 90th minute was last year's game against Manchester City, when the score was 2-2. Unexpectedly, Arsenal was defeated by the newly promoted team this time. This means that Arsenal's 14-game winning streak against newly promoted teams has come to an end. Arteta was very disappointed with the result and felt he should have defended better. Although Arsenal conceded 2 goals in this game, they are still the best defensive team in the Premier League. They have only conceded 5 goals in total so far, making them the team with the fewest goals conceded.
