Arsenal increased the pressure on Sunderland manager David
Moyes with a comfortable victory over a Black Cats side who remain bottom of
the table and without a Premier League win this season.
Alexis Sanchez put the Gunners ahead when he got in front of
defender Lamine Kone to head in Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's cross.
The dominant
visitors had a strong penalty appeal turned down after Sanchez looked to have
been brought down before Jermain Defoe equalised from the spot after keeper
Petr Cech had fouled Duncan Watmore.
However, Arsenal reasserted their authority and lead with
three goals in six minutes and 20 seconds.Olivier Giroud came off the bench to
guide in a shot and then headed in a Mesut Ozil corner, while Sanchez's close
range effort was the signal for the home fans to start streaming out of the
Stadium of Light.
The win moved Arsenal top of the Premier League - but
whether they stay there depends on how Manchester City and Liverpool fare in
their later games.
