Declan Rice’s full stats are incredible – Arsenal’s three winners from draw vs Sunderland
Arsenal were denied a victory late on as Sunderland grabbed a stoppage time equaliser to end the match 2-2.
Prior to the match, attention was on Granit Xhaka’s reunion with Arsenal after he joined Sunderland during the summer.
The Swiss international has been running the show for the Black Cats since arriving on Tyneside and were coming up against Arsenal who were looking to equal a 38-year record by not conceding in yet another game.
The Gunners did lose the clean sheet, leaving Mikel Arteta fuming as Football Insider reviews the winners from the draw against Sunderland.
Bukayo Saka
The Englishman was active in front of goal as he peppered Robin Roefs in the Sunderland net.
Bukayo Saka took three shots and scored to level proceedings as well as being a main creative outlet for the Gunners, racking up two key passes and creating two big chances.
Declan Rice
The England international marauded the midfield at the Stadium of Light, winning four of his five duels as he sought to quickly get Arsenal on the front foot.
Declan Rice was also careful and calculated in possession, completing 60 of his 64 passes to keep the ball circulating.
Leandro Trossard
The former Brighton man had a relatively quiet game for the Gunners before smashing in a stunning strike to send his side into the lead.
Sunderland had been rather stubborn in keeping Arsenal out, but Leandro Trossard stepped up to give Arteta a vital second goal.
Moreover, the Belgian completed 36 of his 40 passes, adding one key pass to his performance.
