After the break, though, Arsenal came alive. Declan Rice won the ball in midfield, started a quick attack, and Bukayo Saka finished it off beautifully at the near post to level the score at 1–1. You could sense the momentum shift immediately. Arsenal began to dominate possession, and their pressure finally paid off when Leandro Trossard curled in a superb strike from 20 yards in the 74th minute. It looked like the Gunners were set to make it 11 wins in a row.
But Sunderland, as they’ve shown all season, simply don’t quit. Regis Le Bris’ men kept fighting, kept pressing, and in the final moments, their persistence was rewarded. After one attempt was stopped by Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya, substitute Brian Brobbey made no mistake the second time. In the fourth minute of stoppage time, he hooked the ball into the back of the net, sending the Stadium of Light into absolute chaos. The roar from the stands said it all — this felt like a victory.
For Arsenal, this result was definitely a setback. They had the chance to move nine points clear at the top but now sit six points ahead, with Manchester City and Liverpool still to play. Mikel Arteta will be frustrated, especially given how solid his team had been defensively in recent weeks. Still, it was a reminder that no lead is safe in the Premier League — especially against a side that believes until the very end.
As for Sunderland, this draw keeps them unbeaten at home and lifts them to fourth in the table — a dream position for a newly promoted team. Their energy, discipline, and late-game determination have made them one of the most exciting stories of the season so far. And after this dramatic night, you can bet every Sunderland fan will be talking about Brian Brobbey’s goal for a long, long time.
