Sunderland showed great courage, Arsenal squandered the victory in injury time.

(NLĐO) – Not only did Arsenal concede their first goal in over 700 minutes, but their 10-match winning streak was also broken when they visited newly promoted Sunderland's stadium.

Sunderland started confidently against Arsenal, continuing to show the impressive form of a newly promoted team that is performing exceptionally well, exceeding all expectations. The home team proactively put formidable pressure on their opponents, who were comfortably sitting at the top of the table, and were rewarded in the 36th minute.

Daniel Ballard – a product of Arsenal's youth academy – scored from close range after a one-two pass with Nordi Mukiele. The goal came from a set piece and marked the first time Arsenal's net had been breached in over a month.

Daniel Ballard scored his first goal against Arsenal after eight matches.

In the second half, Arsenal were forced to increase the tempo. That effort paid off in the 54th minute when Bukayo Saka scored the equalizer after a fluid combination between Eberechi Eze and Mikel Merino.

With the momentum building, Leandro Trossard scored again in the 74th minute with a powerful right-footed shot from outside the penalty area, putting the visitors ahead 2-1.

Just when it seemed Arsenal would leave with a victory, the Stadium of Light erupted in the 90+4th minute of added time.

From a cross into the penalty area, Ballard rose high to head the ball past the Arsenal defense, setting up Brian Brobbey to unleash a spectacular overhead kick that beat goalkeeper David Raya.

The stadium stands erupted in joy, while the Arsenal players could only watch in disappointment as their chance to pull further ahead at the top of the table slipped through their fingers.

Brian Brobbey's spectacular overhead kick equalized the score at 2-2 in injury time.

Goalkeeper Robin Roefs also made his mark with several crucial saves late in the game, helping Sunderland secure a valuable point.

Meanwhile, Ballard deserved to be named Man of the Match, with a goal, an indirect assist, and a last-second save, rather than Leandro Trossard of the visiting team.

The joys and sorrows of the two teams

This result means that although Arsenal still lead the table, the 7-point gap with Man City could be significantly narrowed. Sunderland moved into the top spot, continuing their unbeaten home run and proving they are no longer just a "phenomenon" but are becoming a serious contender for the title race.
