Arsenal press conference LIVE: Mikel Arteta on Sunderland, Zubimendi, Gyokeres and title boost

4 weeks ago 21

Mikel Arteta faces the media following his Arsenal side's victory over Sunderland in the Premier League at the Emirates Stadium. The win is a crucial one for the Gunners who move nine points clear of title rivals Manchester City before they face Liverpool on Sunday.

Despite a frenetic start for both sides and a Kai Havertz goal-bound block needed, the game simmered right until just before the half-time whistle when Martin Zubimendi smashed in off the post from outside the box.

Arsenal then took control in the second half, another Arteta change proving pivotal. Viktor Gyokeres, minutes after replacing Gabriel Jesus, was the man on the end of the chance to smash the ball past a helpless Robin Roefs. Martinelli helped add a third for the Swede in stoppage time too.
