Commentary
We are deep into six minutes of injury time and it has been utter chaos. Arsenal have managed the game relatively well amidst the drama, but there are cards and tackles and crosses flying in all directions. Importantly though for Arsenal, not near Raya's goal.

Now it's Havertz who receives a yellow for a blatant kick on Mukiele down in the Sunderland defensive corner.

Mukiele's tackle started that commotion and he becomes the latest player booked by Brooks for his reaction. The referee has had his hands full today.

When is Gabriel not in the thick of conflict? The Brazilian is booked for his part in the arguments.
This has been a proper battle for both teams. There has barely been a minute of the game that hasn't had a tackle, collision or moment of drama. Tempers boil over on the stroke of injury time as Mukiele goes in late and hard on Guimaraes down on the touchline. Konsa, Brobbey and a fair few others clash on the halfway line.
Eze overlaps Havertz on the left flank and has plenty of time to pick out a man at the back post but gets it horribly wrong and spoons it over the bar for a goal kick. Arsenal could easily have been two or three clear by now, but once again they look as if they will edge a game by a single goal.
