Sunderland vs. Arsenal Player Ratings: Guimaraes and Raya Shine

David Raya: Had little to do until a superb penalty save while Arsenal struggled. 8

Ben White: Showed promise with overlapping runs but seemed light defensively. Substituted at halftime. 5

Gabriel Magalhaes: Strong in challenges and decent with the ball. Displayed his usual dramatic reactions, feigning injury before complaining when asked to leave the field per rules. 6

Ezri Konsa: Struggled against Brobbey and appeared uncertain on the ball under pressure. Conceded a penalty for fouling Ballard. 4

Ricardo Calafiori: Solid as usual, but lacked his typical attacking contribution. 6

Myles Lewis-Skelly: Was fortunate to avoid an early booking, played carelessly with the ball, and was taken off at halftime. 4

Declan Rice: Worked hard on and off the ball as always. Created a clear chance for Saka when the score was 0-0, but otherwise was a bit sloppy. Recognized an opportunity to set up Guimaraes. 6

Bukayo Saka: Should have scored the opener but failed to connect cleanly. Kept relatively quiet and missed a one-on-one opportunity late on. Earned and converted a penalty at the death, just. 6

Martin Odegaard: Couldn't maintain his strong start to the season. Delivered a good free-kick. 6

Christos Tzolis: Looked energetic early on but faded. 5

Kai Havertz: Missed an open chance at 0-0 but nearly scored a brilliant goal minutes later. Tried to pass when he had the opportunity to seal the game. 6

Substitutes:

Jurrien Timber (on 45 for White): Handled Angulo and Brobbey better and was proactive in regaining possession. Headed in a goal, but it was disallowed for offside. 6

Bruno Guimaraes (on 45 for Lewis-Skelly): Scored a brilliant strike shortly after Raya's penalty save, when Arsenal needed a boost. A notable way to score a first goal. 7

Martin Zubimendi (on 81 for Rice) 6

Eberechi Eze (on 81 for Tzolis) 6

Mikel Merino (on 85 for Odegaard) 6

Unused Subs: Kepa Arrizabalaga, Piero Hincapie, Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke.
