The Cats showed great patience to work the ball inside the rival box, and Ballard placed a perfect ball for Brobbey to score the 2-2. The Dutch forward connected with the ball with his right foot.

The Gunners asked for the play to be reviewed for an alleged foul against Gabriel, but after a VAR review, the goal was validated.

This is Brobbey's first goal with Sunderland after playing six matches this season. It is not his first goal contribution, as he already had one assist. Now the striker has two goal contributions in six games.

With this result, Sunderland now has 19 points after 11 games, and positions itself in third place in the Premier League, only below Arsenal and Manchester City.

Manchester City still has a pending match against Liverpool, so they could move a little further away from the Wearside team. They currently have 19 points.

The next matches for The Cats are against Fulham at Craven Cottage on November 22nd and against Bournemouth at the Stadium of Light on November 29th, on the occasion of matchdays 12 and 13 of the Premier League.
