Mikel Arteta fumes at 'unacceptable' refereeing despite Arsenal victory as David Raya saves penalty in Sunderland clash

Arsenal maintained their 100 percent start to the Premier League campaign with a 2-0 win at Sunderland thanks to goals from Bruno Guimaraes and Bukayo Saka. However, manager Mikel Arteta was left furious with the match officials after David Raya was forced to pull off a vital penalty save following a highly contentious spot-kick award.

Arsenal maintained their perfect start to the campaign after overcoming a resilient Sunderland side with a 2-0 victory at the Stadium of Light on Saturday. Raya pulled off a heroic penalty save from Enzo Le Fee just 121 seconds before second-half substitute Guimaraes opened his account for the club with a stunning 20-yard curler. Saka then made sure of the points in stoppage time from the penalty spot following a second yellow card for Reinildo Mandava.
