Arsenal secured a 2-0 victory against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on September 12. Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris noted that the result was frustrating, particularly because his team conceded a goal shortly after failing to convert a promising opportunity. While Sunderland played with a reserved approach in the first half, they improved their organization and ball possession after the break. Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya drew praise from the opposing manager for his performance in the match. Sunderland has now lost five of their last nine home league games despite a generally competitive run of form elsewhere. The club must now look ahead to a busy week of fixtures following this loss.

"Only Chelsea (eight) have received more Premier League red cards since the start of last season than Sunderland (four), with Reinildo Mandava one of three players to be sent off more than once in that time (two). Sunderland have lost just two of their last eight Premier League games (W3 D3), though at the Stadium of Light they've lost five of their previous nine league matches (W3 D1).
""I'm making it very clear publicly because it's for the game, it's not only for Arsenal, this cannot happen at this level." On David Raya's penalty save: "We should not talk about the save of the keeper, we should talk about what happened before that."
