By IANS News February 08, 2026 • 09:28 AM View: 179

Premier League: Arsenal overcame stubborn first-half resistance from Sunderland to strengthen its grip at the top of the Premier League with a 3-0 home win on Saturday, moving nine points clear of both Manchester City and Aston Villa.

Leandro Trossard set up Martin Zubimendi to break Sunderland's resistance in the 42nd minute, and Kai Havertz then demonstrated the depth of Mikel Arteta's attacking options when the German teed up Viktor Gyokeres to double the lead shortly after the Swede had come off the bench. Gyokeres enjoyed his second-half cameo with his second of the match to make it 3-0 in injury time, reported Xinhua.

Manchester City will face a difficult trip to Liverpool on Saturday.
