Arsenal 3-1 Sunderland—x things we learned
There were far too many squeaky bums and clenched sphincters in the first half for anyone’s likings, but there’s no panning the results once we turn around and have a look at hot it turned out. On a weekend when all of our key rivals save Leicester dropped points, it was vital that we return […]
