In the second half Arsenal came back stronger and increased the tempo of the match. Former West Ham star, Declan Rice robbed a Sunderland player off the ball in midfield and played in Bukayo Saka who finished with a low shot from a tight angle.
Arsenal thought they have secured the win when Leandro Trossard scored from the edge of the box to make it 2-1. But the home side rescued a point through Brobbey, who scored a dramatic late equalizer to make it 2-2.
Sunderland were super excited and shared a video of the scenes at the end of the game via their official X handle.
