Sunderland 0-0 Arsenal
Sunderland are full of energy - both on and off the ball.
They're working ever so hard when they are out of possession.
Nilson Angulo has just gone down inside the penalty area but the officials are not interested in the home fans' appeals for a penalty.
Sunderland 0-0 Arsenal
A long way to go, of course, but this is all getting a little bit frustrating for the Gunners.
No goals and now the boss has been booked.

Mikel Arteta doesn't like a small technical area.

Mikel Arteta has spent much of the first half standing outside his technical area, so the home fans are delighted to see referee John Brooks halt play and show the Arsenal manager a yellow card.
Sunderland 0-0 Arsenal
What's this?
Play has been stopped and referee John Brooks is jogging towards the Arsenal dugout.
He's only gone and booked Mikel Arteta for persistently leaving his technical area.
Unsurprisingly, the home fans loved that.

Just the two attempts on target so far - both to Arsenal.
Sunderland 0-0 Arsenal
In it comes and after about eight or nine players challenge for the same ball, a free-kick to Arsenal is awarded.
Sunderland are starting to ask questions.
Sunderland 0-0 Arsenal
From the resulting corner, a VAR check for a possible Arsenal penalty but play goes on and nothing is awarded.
Now a free-kick to Sunderland deep inside Arsenal's half.
Sunderland 0-0 Arsenal
No goals but this is a decent watch.
And now a wonderful save by Robin Roefs to keep out a shot on the turn by Kai Havertz.
That was wonderful technique by Havertz followed by a decent save.
Corner to Arsenal, who are knocking on the door!

Why is Brobbey "holding it up" not being called for a foul? He's holding Konsa off before the balls in the same half!

Hope Sunderland get the better of Arsenal. Will be nice to have an open contest this season and not runner away league leaders at this early stage of the league.. Sunderland to win 2-1.. Man United to halt Man City's 100% start tomorrow.
Fredrick, Kano
This will be Arsenal's first defeat of the season.

The home fans fell silent as Martin Odegaard found himself in that little pocket of space, so were overjoyed when Kai Havertz spooned his effort over the bar. You'd expect the German to score there.
Sunderland 0-0 Arsenal
Oh, that's a lovely move and Arsenal are in behind the Sunderland defence. Martin Odegaard's cutback finds Kai Havertz but his first time attempt flies over the bar.
That should have been a goal.

You can se how Sunderland haven't allowed too many shots on target this season. We can see how well they are defending deep. They've not given Arsenal too many quality chances yet.

A first yellow card comes out of John Brooks' top pocket after Bukayo Saka is wrestled to the ground by Reinildo.
It presents Arsenal with a good opportunity deep inside the Sunderland half but the free-kick is poor and the home side easily clear.

That bizarre handball from Ben White just about sums up Arsenal's start to this match - a bit off it.
Sunderland 0-0 Arsenal
Now another roar from the home fans as Ben White concedes a free-kick after an accidental handball. The home fans are pumped.
No goals, but this beats Ant & Dec in terms of Saturday night TV viewing.
Sunderland 0-0 Arsenal
One of the biggest cheers of the night as Reinildo slides in on Martin Odegaard to dispossess the in-form Arsenal captain.

Arsenal just finding a way to change it up a little bit. They're being patient and finding the space and gaps. Sunderland are going to have to think about it and come out and block.

Gabriel Magalhaes has had enough of all this patient build-up play around the edge of the Sunderland box.
The defender sees an opening and goes for glory from distance.
It's not bad at all as it flashes narrowly wide of the post.
Sunderland 0-0 Arsenal
Christos Tzolis is getting better by the game.
Always creating, always busy, always trying to find an opening.
