A 2-2 draw at Sunderland ended Arsenal's ten-game winning streak.
It was Sunderland's Dan Ballard who broke Arsenal's formidable defensive record, which had stood firm since September 28, firing the newly-promoted Black Cats into an early lead. A victory would have been monumental for Sunderland, potentially lifting them into an astonishing second place. However, Mikel Arteta's squad showcased their resilience in the second half, with powerful finishes from Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard seemingly turning the game around in their favor.
Yet, the Gunners couldn't quite seal the crucial three points. In a decisive moment, Brobbey outmuscled the normally imperious Gabriel Magalhaes, expertly hooking in Ballard's flick-on to level the score once more. This unexpected dropped point for Arsenal provides a significant boost for their title rivals, setting the stage for an even more thrilling showdown between Manchester City and Liverpool at the Etihad on Sunday.
