FT: Sunderland 0-2 Arsenal
Sunderland
Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris, speaking to TNT Sport on the penalty: "We created many chances during the second half, it wasn't the only one. It's about belief and the fine details that make the difference at that level. We are getting better, improving the team, we have to learn and make the most of it."
On Europa League: "It's a symbol for the club, we are getting better, the momentum is big. For the fans it's going to be crazy. Proud to be in this position. We have earned to be there. Last season was tough, there were tough moments, we stayed consistent and earned this option at the end of the year. It's important to show desire, the connection with our fans. Another important game for us."

We had a really tough week, Chelsea, Napoli, winning there and now against a really tough opponent in a difficult place. We had really good periods but didn't score and after that they can suffocate you especially when they decided to be really physical and very direct and we had to overcome a situation that in my opinion was absolutely unacceptable at this level. I'm very worried and very sad because this can never be a penalty ever.
"Are you surprised? Are you surprised? No. OK.
"It's a judo roll from the opponent. Ezri [Konsa] does nothing. Just watch it. We have a lot of cameras and VAR we have to take responsibility to protect the game. Today the game was unprotected and it could have cost us the game and the momentum which is a really, really serious thing.
"I loved the save from David [Raya] the way the team reacted, the way we go again and we go against everything, but this should never happen, it's not fair, and I am sad, very sad, in that sense.
"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."
On Bruno Guimaraes' performance: "Beautiful, he came on, the goal, the assist, remarkable. That why we talk about the finishers and making that impact and being able to support and help the team. He was outstanding."

FT: Sunderland 0-2 Arsenal
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, speaking to TNT Sport: "It could've been something very different."
On the penalty: "It's unacceptable, at this level it can change the course of the season, the championship. I've seen it ten times over to be sure. When I saw it live, I thought it's not possible. It cannot happen. The 27 years I've been in football, it's not a penalty in any case, in any context, at any level, in any league."
On Bruno Guimaraes' goal: "He decided the game."
On David Raya's save: "Unbelievable. He's a player that decides matches when we need it. Big credit to Sunderland and the way they played and the way they are coached. They are a really good team, I don't want to take away credit from them. They make it very hard for you. They have courage and great understanding of what's needed. Extremely tough, extremely happy."
"We have had a really tough week, Chelsea we won, Napoli we won, then coming here and wining again."

David: Another good win. It’s looking like Arsenal could finish above Spurs come the end of the season.

Especially on the time that he scored, coming to this place is so, so difficult. They make it very difficult, it was a big battle, very physical. We dealt with it very well, we defended well. We know how good they are in set pieces. At the end of the day, we got the three points, that's all that matters."
On saving the penalty: "It's a big moment, especially away from home. For the players and the team to have that faith and keep going and win the game, two minutes after we score. Even if we conceded a goal, we had the faith to get back in the game. It's important to keep the clean sheet because it helps us win games."

Sunderland
Image source, ReutersSunderland manager Regis Le Bris to BBC Match of the Day: "Frustrating result. Good game, especially in the second half. I think we went toe to toe with them and they are flying at the moment. We had the opportunity to score, I think it was deserved, [we] didn't score and thirty second after we conceded the goal. This is the level. I think they are relentless. When you don't seize your opportunities it's hard.
"The first half we were a bit reserved, respectful, knowing their threat and the way they play. The way they can damage your defence. So we were really well-organised, but we agreed at half-time it was important to show our quality with the ball. And that we did really well managing long balls at times and short balls when it was possible to play and we created chances.
"[David] Raya was one of the best players on the pitch today. It shows we are dangerous but not enough to score. We are really close. Winning is a process. They are at the top level right now. We were close this evening, it wasn't enough, but it was a good experience for us and our fans. We are getting better game after every game, it's hard to take but we need to go again.
"We have to believe and then it's a question of fine margins. Those fine margins are so hard to improve because it is the last percent and you need to work hard to get this one. We are in a good place. It's important to digest quickly because we have an impressive week ahead."

Martin Keown
Former England defender on TNT Sport
Arsenal have had two tough away games. In terms of grinding away a result, great. Their defence is immense. The beauty of this squad is that they have two players for every position.
FT: Sunderland 0-2 Arsenal
Former Sunderland defender Gary Bennett during his full-time analysis on BBC Radio Newcastle:
"If you're a neutral and you've seen the game tonight, you're thinking, Sunderland are a well organised team. They will cause teams in the Premier League problems."
"You look at tonight, maybe another occasion we could have come away with three points but you are playing against the Premier League champions but at least we've given them a game. At least we can walk away from here and say, you know what, we give our all."

Arsenal goalscorer Bruno Guimaraes to TNT Sports: "It was unbelievable, I feel very good. Everyone knows I had a difficult start through injuries in my short time. But I'm glad to be back and glad to play. And yeah, I score a beautiful goal, beautiful moment for me and my family and I am happy."
On scoring against Sunderland as an ex-Newcastle player: "Beautiful goal. A very good place, everyone knows my past, I had an amazing history at Newcastle. But now I'm trying to create a new history here and I start with the right foot.
On goalkeeper David Raya being the best in the world: "Definitely. Very good saves. He keeps us alive in the game, that unbelievable moment saving the penalty. I think after this moment we want [from it] a big confidence to play forward and score our goal. Everything for this guy he's an unbelievable player."

Steven: Brilliant game. Sunderland very unlucky. Raya, what a keeper! Don't think Arsenal will have many tougher games than this one. Champions win games when they are second best.

Arsenal are three points clear at the top of the Premier League.
Manchester City will draw level on 12 points if they beat United in the Manchester derby on Sunday (16:30 BST).
Marco Rose's wait for a first Premier League victory as Bournemouth head coach continues as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Brentford at Vitality Stadium.
The Cherries came back from behind to lead 2-1 with goals from Justin Kluivert and Marcus Tavernier but Kevin Schade's double for Brentford denied them three points on Saturday.
After a bright start, Brentford's momentum had begun to fade until Schade put them 1-0 up in the 34th minute.
Adrien Truffert gave away possession cheaply in the final third and Yehor Yarmoliuk floated in a cross that was met with a thumping header from the German winger for his second goal in three matches.
But their lead only lasted four minutes as Kluivert got on the end of a loose ball in the box and fired into the bottom corner with his left foot.
Rose's side then went ahead seven minutes into the second half through Tavernier's third goal of the season.
Antonio Silva's lofted pass into the area was delightfully controlled by Evanilson who teed up Tavernier for a powerful finish beyond Caoimhin Kelleher.
But Brentford also only needed four minutes to restore parity as Bournemouth goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic played a pass straight at Schade, who lobbed the goalkeeper to salvage a point with his second of the game.
Cherries' substitute Ben Gannon-Doak's deflected effort rattled the woodwork in the dying seconds, but a winner proved elusive for both sides.
Bournemouth have three points from four matches while Keith Andrews' Brentford have six.
Bournemouth were the better team against Brentford - Rose
Rose will be wondering what he must do to get that first league win on the board.
Bournemouth were the first to score in each of their opening three league fixtures but still arrived at this game searching for a victory under their new head coach.
Tuesday's 4-0 win against Lincoln City in the Carabao Cup finally handed the German his first win as the Cherries boss and was a performance that raised hopes they could carry the momentum into the weekend.
However, they had to battle their way to a point after going behind.
And the hosts will feel they had done enough to win as they passed up a number of gilt-edged chances over the 90 minutes.
Silva's free header went wide early on, while Rayan failed to hit the target from the rebound after Kelleher's save shortly after Brentford opened the scoring.
Alex Scott also ballooned an effort over after excellent work from Evanilson and then Gannon-Doak couldn't find that last-gasp winner.
Bournemouth's attention will now turn to their continental debut at Real Sociedad in their Europa League opener on Thursday.
Brentford didn't hit our best level in Bournemouth draw - Andrews
Schade scored a hat-trick in the 4-1 win against Bournemouth last December and was their tormentor again on Saturday.
He headed in the opener before capitalising on a dreadful mistake from Petrovic to complete his brace in the 56th minute, ensuring the Bees remain unbeaten in 12 games against the Cherries since 2014.
Andrews' side seemed eager to keep that unbeaten record going as Igor Thiago and Keane Lewis-Potter went close to an opener inside three minutes.
With the score at 1-1 deep into first-half stoppage time, the Bees were convinced they had a penalty as Kristoffer Ajer's shot struck Truffert's arm, but referee Jarred Gillett deemed the defender to be too close to react and waved away the appeals.
Andrews' side were fortunate to escape with a point and familiar problems remain as they let a lead slip again - for the third time in as many matches.
But three draws and a win from their opening four matches will be an encouraging return for Andrews, who will celebrate his 46th birthday on Sunday.

Bournemouth have never beaten Brentford in eight Premier League meetings (D3 L5). They’re the only side the Cherries have faced without yet winning in the competition, while it’s the most the Bees have faced an opponent without losing.
Brentford are unbeaten in 11 league meetings with Bournemouth (W8 D3) since a 1-0 Championship defeat in August 2014.
Bournemouth (12) and Brentford (11) are two of the three sides with the most draws in the Premier League in 2026, while no side has dropped more points from winning positions since the start of last season than the Cherries (29).
Bournemouth have led in all three of their Premier League games so far this season and failed to win any of them (D2 L1), becoming the second side in the competition’s history to do so after Chelsea in 1992-93. No side has ever done so in their opening four matches of a campaign before.
Brentford are unbeaten in their last five league games (W1 D4) and could equal their joint-longest run under Keith Andrews, doing so in January (W4 D2) and April (W1 D5) last season.
No side has recorded more direct attacks in the Premier League this season than Bournemouth (7), with Brentford facing two in each of their last two matches.
80.4% of Brentford’s total pressures in the Premier League so far this season have been high-intensity pressures (995/1,237), only Nottingham Forest (85%) and Brighton and Hove Albion (82.2%) have a higher proportion.
Bournemouth’s Marcus Tavernier has three goals in his last four Premier League games, while only Erling Haaland (8) has recorded more shots on target in 2026-27 than his five.
Only Yoane Wissa (11), João Pedro (11) and Bukayo Saka (10) have won more fouls in the Premier League so far this season than Bournemouth’s Alex Scott (9), while the midfielder ranks joint-fourth for carries into the attacking third (9).
Kevin Schade has scored in Brentford’s last two Premier League away games, the only previous time a player for the club has scored in three successive on the road in the competition was the German in January/February 2025.
