Arsenal player ratings: 5/10 duo have off-night as 8/10 trio shine in dramatic Sunderland draw

Arsenal saw their impressive winning run come to an end on Saturday night as they were held to a dramatic 2-2 draw by Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.

The Black Cats have been the Premier League’s surprise package this term and they took a 1-0 lead as Dan Ballard fired past David Raya after he beat Declan Rice to a long ball and then got in front of the ex-West Ham United man to lash home.

Arsenal hit the front with two second-half goals from Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard. Saka fired in at the near post after being played in by makeshift striker Mikel Merino while Trossard hammered a beautiful effort into the top corner on 74 minutes.

However, Brian Brobbey scored for the hosts in the 94th minute as he beat Gabriel and Raya to a Ballard knock down to rescue a point for the home side. Following the dramatic encounter, the Arsenal player ratings are below...
