2: 2! The dark horse tied in the 94th minute. Arsenal was tied and lost a good game. The 10-game winning streak came to an abrupt end.

After Arteta’s patient work over the years and Xia Chuang’s absolute support, Arsenal has gradually evolved into a complete state this season; in the 8 games since October, the Gunners not only maintained a complete victory, but also did not concede a goal on the defensive end. In the early morning of November 9th, in the 11th round of the Premier League, Arsenal played away against Sunderland; while leading, the Gunners were scored by the Black Cats to draw a 2:2 draw with their opponents, ending their 10-game winning streak in all competitions.

Sunderland, who returned to the Premier League after 7 years, also produced results that impressed the outside world; scoring 18 points in the first 10 rounds not only created the highest score in the same period in team history, but also ranked fourth in the standings. Because Dzekeresh was absent due to injury due to muscle problems, Merino was pushed to the center position to partner with Eze, Saka, and Trossard; Rice and Subimendi guarded the center; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, and Calafiore joined forces in the defense, and Raya guarded the goal.

Playing at home, Sunderland was extremely pragmatic and put down five defenders to defend against Arsenal's attack. At the same time, they used set pieces and long passes to prepare for counterattacks, which made the Gunners play extremely awkward. In the 15th minute, Gabriel was brought down and got a free kick. Rice took the penalty shot but was saved by Roeves. In the 25th minute, after the Gunners patiently organized in the frontcourt, Eze took a shot from the top of the arc and missed it.

In the entire first half, Sunderland only had one threatening shot on the offensive end, but this time it was effective; in the 36th minute, Roeves made a long pass from the backcourt, and Mujele headed back in the penalty area. Ballard scrambled and inserted a powerful volley to score, 0:1! 26 The 2018-year-old Ballard was born in England and joined Arsenal's youth training when he was 8 years old. He signed his first professional contract with Arsenal in the summer of 2018. Although he did not represent Arsenal's first team in an official game, he still killed his old club. At the same time, the Gunners' record of consecutive clean sheets was also fixed at 812 minutes.

Back in the second half, Arsenal also increased the intensity of their pressure. In the 54th minute, Rice intercepted the ball hard in the frontcourt. Saka immediately stepped forward to receive the ball and then pushed forward. Merino kept stopping the ball and diagonally crossing it. Saka moved just in time to push and score, 1:1! In the 53rd minute, Trossard broke through from the left and knocked back, Subimendi made the ball, and Saka followed up and missed the goal; in the 65th minute, Saka cut in from the right and passed in but was blocked by Roeves. Subimendi stopped the ball at two points and volleyed with the instep, but the ball hit the crossbar impartially!

In the 74th minute, Trossard received the ball at the front of the penalty area and displayed his personal abilities. Facing Sadiqi's defense, he made continuous fake moves to get out of the way and hit the world wave net, 2:1! Sunderland, who was lagging behind, pressed forward and gave it a try; in the 80th minute, Ballard nodded the ball in the penalty area, and Brobey's two consecutive shots were saved by Raya; in the 85th minute, Hume advanced from the right and made a diagonal pass. Talebi stopped the ball and took advantage of the trend to score a point. Brobey's low shot was still resolved by Raya.

But Lady Luck was not on Arsenal's side this time. In the 94th minute, it was Ballard's header that created a threat. Brobey scored the ball with a difficult volley before Raya struck, and successfully tied the Gunners at the last minute of stoppage time, 2:2! It was with this hard-won goal that Arsenal was tied by Sunderland; their 10-game winning streak in all competitions ended, and they conceded 2 goals in a single game for the first time this season. Sunderland, who scored 1 point, rushed to the third position in the standings, playing the role of a dark horse.
