Arsenal beat Sunderland thanks to Guimaraes’ first goal for the club
In Sunderland, England, Arsenal defeated Sunderland 2-0 in an English Premier League match and maintained a perfect record since the start of the season. The London club collected 12 points in its first four matches and moved into first place in the table.
Raya’s save and Guimaraes’ goal
The decisive episode occurred in the 55th minute, when Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya saved a penalty taken by Enzo Le Fee, pushing the ball onto the post. Two minutes later, the team’s summer signing Bruno Guimaraes opened the scoring with a curling shot and scored his first goal for Arsenal.

As Channel NewsAsia reports, citing Reuters, the match was not a convincing performance by Arsenal: Sunderland put up persistent resistance. However, the reigning English champions scored for a second time in stoppage time when Bukayo Saka converted a penalty.
Situation in the table
Arsenal have 12 points after four matches. Manchester City have also not dropped any points and could draw level with the Londoners on that tally with a victory over Manchester United on Sunday.
