The Guardian reported that Arsenal won at Sunderland after David Raya saved Enzo Le Fée’s second-half penalty and Bruno Guimarães then scored from the edge of the area. Bukayo Saka later added a stoppage-time penalty as Mikel Arteta’s side kept their unbeaten start intact.
The report said Arsenal have now won six times in six games in all competitions, including the Community Shield, and that this was their sternest test of the campaign so far. Sunderland were also handed a late setback when Reinildo was sent off for the foul that led to Saka’s penalty.
The same account highlighted a strong Sunderland display, with Le Fée and Nordi Mukiele both drawing praise, but the home side could not turn that into a result. Arsenal’s late control of the match was the key change in status from a tense contest to a clear away win.
