It's meSunderland, a promotion team well known as the "Dead Sunderland" continues to make a surprising splash. Season 4 production, which deals with his actions after being promoted to the English Premier League (EPL), seems inevitable.
Sunderland scored a surprise 2-2 draw at home in the 11th round of the EPL in the 2025-2026 season against leading Arsenal at Stadium of Light in Sunderland on the 9th (Korea time) thanks to Brian Broby's theatrical equalizer in the 4th minute of extra time in the second half.
Sunderland, who won 2-1 in the EPL's ninth round away match against Chelsea in the third minute of extra time in the second half, added a valuable point with a three-game theatrical match. Sunderland has scored five goals this season, more than any other team since the 90th minute. This score is not a coincidence.
He also showed off his side as a London team killer. This season, he showed a particularly strong performance against five London-based teams with three wins and two draws. They beat West Ham (3-0), Brentford (2-1), and Chelsea to draw with Crystal Palace (0-0 draw) and Arsenal.
Sunderland, which has been undefeated in the last four games and has 19 points (5 wins, 4 draws, 2 losses), is in third place after Arsenal (26 points) and Manchester City (19 points). After returning to the EPL for the first time in nine years, it was considered the top relegation list, but it emerged as the biggest sensation with its surprising stickiness.
Arsenal, which had won 10 consecutive games, including official games, did not exceed the last two minutes and lost two points in front of them.
Sunderland took a delightful lead in the 36th minute with Daniel Ballard's first goal. Ballard, who received Nordi Mukiele's header pass from the right diagonal point in the penalty box, shook the net with a right-footed shot aimed at the top of the goal. Arsenal's 812-minute scoreless record was broken by Ballard's second goal of the season. Edvin van de Sarr's challenge to score a scoreless 1311 minutes, which he wrote when he was at Manchester United, fell through.

It wasn't Arsenal to be beaten quietly. In the 9th minute of the second half, Bukayo Saka brought the game back to square one with an equalizer. Midfielder Declan Rice took the ball from the opponent's final third area under strong pressure and immediately launched the attack. Mikel Merino, who received the ball, stabbed the pass to Saka, who was running toward the space on the right, and Saka opened the goal with a right-footed shot, not a main shot.
Arsenal scored a come-from-behind goal in the 29th minute of the second half. Leandro Trossar's right-footed mid-range shot from the outside of the penalty arc aimed at the top left of the goal was sucked into the net.
Four minutes of extra time in the second half, a miracle was produced, which was in the mood of leaning with Arsenal's victory. Ballard, who scored the first goal, connected a high ball from the opponent's box with a header pass, and Brobi, who replaced it in the second half, ran quickly near the goal area and attempted a bicycle kick. Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya and Arsenal defenders, who ran in the shooting process, got tangled up, but the referee admitted the score as it was after the video reading system (VAR) was activated.
The match ended in a 2-2 draw.
