Shock in the Premier League: Arsenal’s incredible run comes to an end 😱

Will Arsenal bounce back?

This Saturday afternoon, Arsenal travel to the pitch of the formidable newly-promoted Sunderland.

Leaders of the Premier League and buoyed by their rock-solid defense, the Gunners approached the match full of confidence against the league’s fifth-placed team.

However, to everyone’s surprise, it was the Black Cats who opened the scoring thanks to Danny Ballard (36’), thus ending David Raya’s incredible unbeaten run.

Indeed, Arsenal had not conceded a single goal in their last eight matches in all competitions, a total of 812 minutes. You have to go back to last September 28, in a match against Newcastle, to find the last time Arsenal had to pick the ball out of their own net.

Even more incredible, Danny Ballard is only the fourth player to score against Arsenal this season, following in the footsteps of Erling Haaland, Nick Woltemade, and Dominik Szoboszlai.

In your opinion, will Arsenal manage to turn things around against Sunderland? The Black Cats are provisionally second in the Premier League.
