A bruising trip to the Stadium of Light ends with two dropped points — and plenty to dissect.
Gav, Ells and Justin break down Arsenal’s 2–2 draw at Sunderland, from the elbow on Moreno and missed chances to the fatigue creeping into Arteta’s injury-hit squad.
The lads debate Trossard’s thunderbolt, Rice’s role in the opener, and why Arsenal still looked a level above even on tired legs. There’s chat on Arteta’s substitutions (or lack thereof), Ethan Nwaneri’s curious situation, and what the break means for Odegaard, Havertz and the cavalry to return.
After that, Whip Around the Grounds brings chaos across the league — Spurs and United share the comedy, Chelsea finally turn up, Villa keep flying, and Wolves look doomed. Then in VARse, the team rate the weekend’s biggest officiating controversies at Villa Park, the G Tech and the Etihad, with Craig Pawson, Michael Oliver and Howard Webb all getting their turn in the chair.
The show wraps with talk on the title race, Liverpool’s collapse, the relegation scrap, and how Arsenal’s depth and injuries could define what comes next.
Conceded, but not defeated — Arsenal stumble in Sunderland yet stay top and ready to reload after the break.
