  Although they lost, Sunderland should take positives from a performance where they went toe-to-toe with the English champions.As he has so often since joining Sunderland last summer, Xhaka was at the centre of many of the best things the Black Cats did against the midfielder's former club.His brilliant free-kick was headed narrowly wide by Ballard in their best first-half chance, while the final action of the opening period had Xhaka flicking the ball away with his heel as it looked to be headin

  13-09-2026 12:27 via sports.yahoo.com
  
  Arsenal's first-half frustration was encapsulated in manager Mikel Arteta being booked shortly before the break for leaving his technical area too many times.They had been nullified by Sunderland at that point, with attacking metronome Martin Odegaard kept quiet by their former player Granit Xhaka.Greece winger Christos Tzolis continued his inconsistent start to the season, more reminiscent here of his toothless showing against Aston Villa rather than the productive display at home to Chelsea.Ko
