What were the key moments in Arsenal's victory over Sunderland?
Cross came in to Giroud.
Oh, the keeper's struggling. Red's gone again.
Against the post, the goalkeeper's struggling. Sanchez finds the net. Mission complete.
convincing win in the end then for Arsenal. It takes them three points clear at the top of the Premier League. It is yet another defeat for Sunderland. No wins so far this season.
How did Sunderland respond after equalizing against Arsenal?
Losing by four goals to one. Three attempts for Sunderland is the lowest they've had this season. Just the one on target. Six touches in the opposition box to Arsenal's 27 and not a single corner for the home side who still get to score from a set-piece. The only side in the Premier League to have that stat next to their name and Arsenal dominating the possession here at the Stadium of Light. Well, once Sunderland got it back to 1-1, there was a glimmer of hope here, ended by that man, Olivier Giroud, off the bench, two goals with his first two touches, high-fives with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who set up the first for Sanchez in the first half, both with Greg Whelan. Olivier, Alex, well done today.
Olivier, three more points. It looked straightforward, was it, in the end?
What impact did Olivier Giroud have when he came on the pitch?
Yeah, at the end we made it easy, but it was totally the reverse because we started well, but after they came back well in the game, we didn't succeed to put the second goal and then, yeah, we... We were a bit exposed in the second half, so it was nice to score this second goal after we finished the job. Alex, when Sunderland got back into it, did you fear it might be a missed opportunity at that point?
Obviously at that point you do get some doubts and you know you've got to step it up again but we knew we had a lot of time still and I think before they scored that goal the game was very open and we looked like we could have scored some goals. We opened up a few opportunities so I think we were confident that we just needed to keep going and luckily the big man came on here and he scored that goal and it gave us a little bit of breathing room again and then the boys closed the game out really well.
Olivier, two touches, two goals.
If ever there was a way of saying you were back, was that it?
No, if I could do that every single game, I would be the most happier man. Yeah, I've been lucky today and I had a great assist from my teammates, so I try to always finish the job well. But I have to be honest that it's...
What were the statistics that highlighted Sunderland's struggles?
It's a big time for me because I came back from a tough injury and I'm very happy to get back on the pitch and just take a lot of pleasure and obviously it's nice for myself and the team always to score for a striker, it's always important. Alex, talking of assists, you set up the very important first goal for Sanchez. Do you feel you should have been on the score sheet yourself today?
Yeah, I think second half more so I had a few good opportunities. I think one of them I didn't realise I had a little bit more time to take the ball inside and then I snatched the shot a little bit. But I'm happy I'm getting into more of those positions to score goals and I've got to keep getting myself in there and then just hopefully finish them off a bit better than I did today.
Top of the table, temporarily at least. Ten games in, how much of a marker do you feel you've set down in terms of the title race as a whole? You know, we only played less than... We played maybe one quarter of the league, so a bit more, but it's still the beginning of the league, you know, and I'm not the man who will speak too much because we are first. We enjoy this position, obviously.
How did Arsenal's performance reflect their title ambitions?
We want to finish first and to win the league, but... You know, there is a long time to go, but we are in a good momentum, you know, in a good race, so we need to keep it up and be consistent as we are doing. Olivier, Alex, well done today. Thank you, cheers. Sunderland, it's another defeat. They're setting all kinds of records. They're all the wrong ones. Where does this result leave them today?
Most people would think doomed, so a lot of soul-searching to do. Personally, I think they've got to revert back to the type of game that Sam Allardyce had going on here, where they had a more direct game that the players were more comfortable with.
