Arsenal have recorded a big win in the Premier League, defeating Sunderland 3-0 in the 25th week of the season.

The match started evenly, with Declan Rice trying to shoot in the 30th minute, but the ball went wide of the post. Arteta's team scored the first goal in the 42nd minute, when Martin Zubimendi scored with a fantastic volley after an assist from Leandro Trossard, bringing the score to 1-0.

In the second half, Arsenal showed their strength. Kai Havertz provided the perfect assist for Viktor Gyökeres, who scored in the 66th minute to make it 2-0. Sunderland tried to fight back, but a lack of control in midfield, especially without Xhaka, made the difference.

In extra time, Gyökeres scored the third goal to seal the final score of 3-0, confirming the Gunners' dominance.

With this victory, Arsenal reaches 56 points, nine more than Man City who are ranked second with 47, but with one less game played. Sunderland remains with big challenges, especially without the presence of key midfielder Granit Xhaka, who made his absence noticeable. /Express newspaper
