Arsenal’s brilliance at both ends helps overcome Sunderland

Arsenal maintained their perfect start to the season with a 2-0 victory over Sunderland, thanks to two moments of brilliance from David Raya and Bruno Guimaraes. The Gunners' goalkeeper Raya made a superb save in the 55th minute with a penalty saved low to his left after Ezri Konsa was penalised for pulling down Dan Ballard. The significance of the save was revealed when midfielder Guimaraes, brought on as a half-time substitute, curled home the opener from the corner of the net off the bar in the 121st second.

The win was sealed in the final seconds as Bukayo Saka slotted home a penalty after being fouled by Reinildo Mandava, who was given a second yellow card and sent off. The victory extended Mikel Arteta's men's 100% start to the season with six wins from six in all competitions, including four in the Premier League to put them top of the table.
