Arsenal extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to nine points following a professional 3-0 victory over Sunderland at the Emirates.
Despite missing stars Bukayo Saka and Martin Ødegaard, Mikel Arteta’s side found a breakthrough in the 42nd minute when Martín Zubimendi fired home from the edge of the box.
While Sunderland’s Brian Brobbey threatened an equalizer—forcing a goal-line clearance from Kai Havertz—the Gunners’ superior depth eventually told.
Substitute Viktor Gyökeres settled the contest with two second-half goals.
The win puts immense pressure on title rivals Manchester City and Aston Villa.
For Sunderland, the defeat ends a gritty performance, but they remain firmly in the hunt for European qualification after an impressive campaign.
