Premier League leaders Arsenal's long winning run came to an end in a breathless 2-2 draw at Sunderland with Brian Brobbey securing a deserved point for the hosts with a stoppage-time leveller on Saturday.

The Belgian's exceptional passing in the second half helped Arsenal claw their way back into the match. He took control of the game to put Arsenal ahead with a stunning strike, hit hard past Roefs from distance, and will be livid it wasn't the winner.

Williams said: “We don’t know exactly how much Granit Xhaka earns at Sunderland, but we are aware that he’s Sunderland’s best-paid player. And by extension, because of how wage inflation has taken hold in the years since Sunderland were last in the Premier League, that means he will be comfortably the best paid player in their history.

Arsenal were unable to capitalise on their set-piece threat at the Stadium of Light but their ability to launch balls into the box from throw-ins was hampered by Sunderland’s decision to move the advertising boards on the side of the pitch closer to the touchline before kick-off.

Sunderland has come from behind to draw with Everton 1-1 at home in the Premier League. The surprising Black Cats move into fourth place, equal on points with Liverpool and Bournemouth.

Sunderland name an unchanged side for the visit of Arsenal as Granit Xhaka faces his former side. Sunderland XI: Roefs; Hume, Mukiele, Ballard, Geertruida, Reinildo; Xhaka, Sadiki, Traore, Le Fee; Isidor.
