Arsenal defeats Sunderland 2-0 behind goals from Guimaraes and a penalty
Summary

Arsenal secured a 2-0 victory against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Saturday. Bruno Guimaraes scored for the visitors after coming off the bench, shortly following a penalty save by goalkeeper David Raya. Raya also denied Sunderland multiple times during an 84th-minute goal-mouth scramble. Despite sustained pressure from Arsenal, Sunderland defenders and goalkeeper efforts repeatedly prevented Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka from extending the lead during open play. The Gunners eventually added a second goal through a penalty kick deep in stoppage time. Mikel Arteta is expected to discuss the result following the conclusion of the match.
