Key figures

It's the first time Grant Leadbitter scores a goal in his professional career since the 29/09/2007 (with Sunderland vs Blackburn )

No Sunderland manager (with more than 30 matches on the bench) before Roy Keane has done less than 18% of draws .

End of streak for Sunderland after 6 consecutive losses vs Arsenal (since 11/05/2003). It's a record streak. The previous one was back on the 01/09/1951 (4 matches)
