Arsenal's winning streak ended with a 2-2 draw at Sunderland after Brian Brobbey netted a stoppage-time equalizer on Saturday. The result snapped the Gunners' run of 10 consecutive victories and marked their first goals conceded since September, ending an 812-minute clean sheet streak.
Daniel Ballard, a former Arsenal academy player, gave the hosts a first-half advantage before Bukayo Saka leveled the match with a close-range finish after halftime. Leandro Trossard appeared to have secured victory for the visitors with a long-range strike, but Brobbey responded in the 94th minute to salvage a point for the Black Cats.
The draw leaves Arsenal seven points ahead atop the table, though Manchester City can reduce that margin when they face defending champions Liverpool on Sunday. Sunderland climbed to third place while maintaining their perfect home record in their first season back in the Premier League.
