As opposed to some of the teams Arsenal faced previously, the Gunners were taken by surprise at the Black Cats tenacity throughout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dan Ballard gave Sunderland the lead with an excellent finish, after a long free-kick caused chaos in the Arsenal box. The Gunners responded impressively, coming from behind to lead thanks to goals from Bukayo Saka. But they could not hold on, with Brobbey&#8217;s improved finish the sting in the tail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>In this article, we&#8217;ll cover:<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-sunderland-s-early-aggression\" data-level=\"2\">Sunderland&#8217;s early aggression<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-arsenal-s-half-space-runs-cut-sunderland-open\" data-level=\"2\">Arsenal&#8217;s half-space runs cut Sunderland open<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-sunderland-s-early-aggression-1\" data-level=\"2\">Sunderland&#8217;s early aggression<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sunderland-s-early-aggression\">Sunderland&#8217;s early aggression<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Arsenal\u2019s clean sheet record was broken by one of their former academy players. Sunderland\u2019s tenacity and the stop start nature of the game challenged the Gunners early on. The ball was in play for 23:29 of the first half, due to head injuries, stoppages and a linesman changing his kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike the matches against Burnley, Crystal Palace and Fulham, Sunderland pressed Arsenal high early on and launched into challenges, firing up the Stadium of Light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The slow nature of the game and Sunderland\u2019s bravery in the press took Arsenal by surprise. It was capped off with Ballard\u2019s excellent striker-like finish after a long free-kick caused havoc inside Arsenal\u2019s box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The volume inside the stadium cranked up with every Sunderland challenge as it took the Gunners a while to find their footing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-arsenal-s-half-space-runs-cut-sunderland-open\">Arsenal&#8217;s half-space runs cut Sunderland open<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Black Cats may have scored a little too early as the match momentum shifted in Arsenal\u2019s favour heavily after the goal.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"663\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/08203359\/Sunderland-vs-Arsenal-match-momentum-1024x663.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1409960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/08203359\/Sunderland-vs-Arsenal-match-momentum-1024x663.png 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/08203359\/Sunderland-vs-Arsenal-match-momentum-300x194.png 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/08203359\/Sunderland-vs-Arsenal-match-momentum-768x497.png 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/08203359\/Sunderland-vs-Arsenal-match-momentum-1536x995.png 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/08203359\/Sunderland-vs-Arsenal-match-momentum-2048x1326.png 2048w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/08203359\/Sunderland-vs-Arsenal-match-momentum-400x259.png 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/08203359\/Sunderland-vs-Arsenal-match-momentum-309x200.png 309w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/08203359\/Sunderland-vs-Arsenal-match-momentum-93x60.png 93w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/08203359\/Sunderland-vs-Arsenal-match-momentum-150x97.png 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/08203359\/Sunderland-vs-Arsenal-match-momentum-40x26.png 40w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Whenever one team scored it seemed to wake the other up, as Arsenal camped outside Sunderland\u2019s penalty area shortly after Ballard\u2019s goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Saka\u2019s goal came as a result of smart pressing from Declan Rice when Sunderland were trying to have a spell of possession, the majority of Arsenal\u2019s threat came from brilliant runs into the half-spaces, particularly by Riccardo Calafiori.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/08203311\/Riccardo-Calafiori-vs-Sunderland-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1409958\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/08203311\/Riccardo-Calafiori-vs-Sunderland-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/08203311\/Riccardo-Calafiori-vs-Sunderland-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/08203311\/Riccardo-Calafiori-vs-Sunderland-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/08203311\/Riccardo-Calafiori-vs-Sunderland-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/08203311\/Riccardo-Calafiori-vs-Sunderland-214x267.jpg 214w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/08203311\/Riccardo-Calafiori-vs-Sunderland-160x200.jpg 160w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/08203311\/Riccardo-Calafiori-vs-Sunderland-48x60.jpg 48w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/08203311\/Riccardo-Calafiori-vs-Sunderland-120x150.jpg 120w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/08203311\/Riccardo-Calafiori-vs-Sunderland-32x40.jpg 32w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/08203311\/Riccardo-Calafiori-vs-Sunderland.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Regis Le Bris\u2019s side retreated into a low block, and Arsenal patiently stretched Sunderland\u2019s defence and committed players forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Playing the ball around Sunderland\u2019s penalty area meant they could switch the ball from one wing to the other.
