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."

Credit to Sunderland, they are highly organised, hard to break down and resilient.
Arsenal were brilliant defensively, the goalkeeper was superb. They are champions and that's what champions do.

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).
Zian Flemming scored his first goal for Ipswich to give the club a late victory over 10-man Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
Anan Khalaili opened the scoring for the hosts after Daichi Kamada found the 22-year-old on the right flank in acres of space. His effort - which could have been a shot or a cross - took a deflection off full-back Leif Davis before nestling in the bottom corner of Kjell Scherpen's goal.
Davis soon recovered when he delivered a wicked ball into the box and found the head of Emersonn, whose header powered past Walter Benitez to equalise.
On the stroke of half-time, Ipswich once again found Emersonn in the box, who shouldered the ball in to the path of Davis and he headed home to give Gary O'Neil's side the lead.
Between conceding goals, the Eagles went down to 10 men when Axel Disasi caught Jack Clarke with a late and high foot to the shin.
Palace struggled to create for a lengthy period, but Jorgen Strand Larsen got the better of Issa Diop and rifled home an equaliser before Flemming grabbed the winner for Ipswich at the death.
Pierre Sage's side have now lost three of their opening four matches of the season and have conceded two or more goals on each occasion.
Meanwhile, Ipswich are already halfway to equalling the amount of wins they managed last time they were in the top flight, when they managed just four wins in the 2024-25 campaign.
Pierre Sage post-match interview - Crystal Palace v Ipswich Town
In Oliver Glasner's final season in charge of Crystal Palace, his side won just 21 of their 45 points at their beloved Selhurst Park.
Their underwhelming form in south London appears to be continuing under Sage, who has already lost his first two league matches at the ground.
They did cruise past Championship side Middlesbrough at home in the League Cup on Tuesday, but defeat against Ipswich means Palace have earned just 11 points at home in 2026. Tottenham Hotspur are the only ever-present Premier League side to have earned less.
In difficult times, managers often call on their club's home support to give their players an extra nudge of motivation on the pitch by creating a better atmosphere.
If Sage decides to issue a similar plea to the Palace supporters, it may prove difficult given that the Holmesdale Fanatics - a fan group who are key to the atmosphere at Selhurst Park - have decided to stop all activity in the ground in recent weeks, saying "genuine" fans are no longer prioritised by clubs.
Up next at Selhurst Park is Thursday's Europa League match against Lech Poznan, before they host Nottingham Forest after the international break.
Can the players and supporters rally to overcome a disappointing start to the campaign?
Gary O'Neil post-match interview - Crystal Palace v Ipswich Town
Leif Davis has been a stalwart for Ipswich since the League One days. Now, he doesn't look out of place in the best league in the world.
His game at Selhurst Park got off to a nightmare start when Khalaili's attempt deflected off his foot and into the back of Scherpen's goal.
Instead of letting his head drop, Davis took the game into his own hands and delivered a pinpoint cross to Emersonn, who levelled the score.
Davis continued on the front foot and combined excellently with Clarke on the left flank to pin Khalaili and Chris Richards in their own half, stifling Palace of chances for large parts of the match.
The high-flying full-back then made one of his trademark runs into the box and found himself on the end of Emersonn's attempt at goal, nodding home effortlessly to put the Tractor Boys into the lead.
Today's goal and assist mean the 26-year-old has already equalled the amount of goal involvements he managed in the entirety of his previous Premier League campaign (three).
If Davis can maintain his level for the rest of the season, O'Neil's side have a real chance of avoiding the drop.

Crystal Palace won both of their Premier League meetings with Ipswich Town 1-0 in 2024-25, last winning three league games in a row against them in February 1995.
Ipswich have lost both of their last two league visits to Crystal Palace, only losing three in a row away to the Eagles in November 1994.
Crystal Palace ended a nine-game winless run in the Premier League with a 3-2 victory over Fulham last time out; they last won successive league matches in December 2025.
Ipswich are without a clean sheet in their last 22 Premier League games, conceding 57 goals in that time (2.6 per game); this term only Crystal Palace (6.5) and Fulham (6.2) have a higher expected goals against total than the Tractor Boys (6.1).
Among ever-present Premier League sides in 2026, only Tottenham Hotspur (7) have accumulated fewer points at home than Crystal Palace (11 – W2 D5 L4); the Eagles could lose three successive league matches at Selhurst Park for only the second time since the start of 2024, only doing so in November/December 2025.
Only Brighton and Hove Albion (34) have recorded more high turnovers in the Premier League so far this season than Crystal Palace (32), though just four of those have resulted in a shot (12.5%), the joint-sixth worst rate in 2026-27.
Gary O’Neil is yet to beat Crystal Palace in his five previous Premier League encounters (D1 L4), only losing more often in the competition to Manchester United and West Ham United (both 5). Indeed, his sides have conceded 2+ goals in all five games.
Crystal Palace’s Anan Khalaili leads the Premier League for both tackles (17) and true tackles attempted (24), with his true tackle win rate – the proportion of time he touches the ball when tackling – is 70.8%, the sixth-highest in the league (min. 10 true tackles attempted).
No defender has had more touches in the opposition box than Crystal Palace’s Tyrick Mitchell in the Premier League this season (10). He scored a brace against Fulham last time out, as many goals as he’d scored in his previous 103 appearances combined.
No player has attempted more shots in the Premier League so far this season without scoring than Ipswich’s Julio Enciso (12), while only Antoine Semenyo (21) has attempted more take-ons this term than his 20, completing seven of them (35%).
