ARTETA LASHES OUT AT SUNDERLAND RESULT AS XHAKA LOSES COOL
Dive into the moments you missed from Sunderland's 2-2 draw with Arsenal: Arteta's angry reaction to the opening goal, Sunderland's tactical switch, and Granit Xhaka's fierce midfield reunion against his former club.

Following an outstanding tenacious performance against Arsenal, Sunderland's winning streak at the Stadium of Light continues.
Dan Ballard gave the Gunners the lead in the first half, but Mikel Arteta's team rallied in the second half thanks to goals from Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard.
Brian Brobbey scored his first goal in a red and white shirt after coming off the bench, after Regis Le Bris made three changes shortly after the hour mark.
We have examined a few of the game's moments that you might have missed.
Arteta's outrage over Sunderland's first game
The manager of Arsenal has no problem portraying the villain in a pantomime, and he did a fantastic job tonight.
The decision to give the home team a free kick in the first half, even though Enzo Le Fee's foot was clearly trodden on, infuriated the 43-year-old. Disappointed by the choice, Arteta threw his hands in the air as he walked back to the dugout.

Can you imagine his reaction if the officials penalised him for a good challenge? His wait would not be long.
Thus, the head coach of Arsenal was furious when Martin Zubimendi and Wilson Isidor won the ball in a tackle, which, from the press box at least, appeared to be a good challenge. It was a crucial point in the match.
Less than a minute later, Sunderland took the lead, and the Gunners manager returned to the bench to mockingly cheer the decision.
Dan Ballard wheeled away to the corner flag to celebrate against his old team, but the red and white supporters paid little heed.
Although the Black Cats were unable to achieve the same fluidity at Everton, we saw against Chelsea just how successful Sunderland can be when switching to a 4-3-3 in possession.
When Sunderland got control, both Reinildo and Trai Hume moved into midfield areas, but the Toffees had crowded the middle of the field, making it difficult for the Wearsiders to get on the ball.
Hume warmed up with Sunderland's offensive trio and midfield pair before kickoff tonight. During their play, the Northern Ireland international played on the right in a midfield three.
Although there was little sign that Sunderland would go as boldly as they did with the press, going man for man, it would hint at the strategy. Their centre-halves occasionally followed Arsenal's forwards far into their own half.
Le Bris took a courageous stance, and Arsenal's equaliser demonstrated how simple it is for elite clubs to discipline you at this level. Bukayo Saka made no mistakes when given the chance after Le Fee was caught in possession.
Granit Xhaka's thoughts on the reunion with Arsenal are apparent.
Before kickoff, the travelling Arsenal supporters gave the former Gunners midfielder a hearty round of applause as he talked positively about his time at the Emirates Stadium.
However, that all changed when the game began with the blow of the whistle. He helped the Black Cats gain traction in the game and was his typical polished, professional self.
There was a lot of discussion about how Xhaka had changed in the years after Arteta was appointed, but he still possesses the tenacity and determination that made him so well-liked and powerful at the Emirates.
When the Spaniard lost to the Swiss international's challenge, the Sunderland skipper made it apparent how he felt about Mikel Merino.
The Sunderland talisman yelled his disapproval at Merino as he lay in a heap on the ground after the referee gave a foul.
FABRIZIO ROMANO: LIVERPOOL IN ADVANCED TALKS TO KEEP SZOBOSZLAI
Fabrizio Romano reports Liverpool is in advanced talks with Dominik Szoboszlai over a new contract. The Reds are pushing to secure their potential future captain on a long-term deal with an improved salary.

Taking over as sporting director in 2024 was not an easy task for Richard Hughes. Prior to starting a plan to rebuild the Reds' team, he had to deal with contract concerns.
The summer saw the realisation of this strategy, but it is only the beginning. Hughes still needs to plan to replace some of the club's ageing players, even if he has cut ties with many of the old guard.
It is irrelevant how long Virgil van Dijk and Mo Salah will remain at Liverpool. Their contracts, which end in the summer of 2027, are not certain to be fulfilled by either of them.
It is possible that he could go much earlier for the former candidate.
There are other factors to take into account. At the conclusion of the season, Andy Robertson's contract will expire. Ibrahima Konate's does, too. It is unclear if they will both remain at the club.
Liverpool is working on transfers at the same time. Even though Hughes made a significant investment during the summer transfer window, his team is not flawless.
Hughes will need to add more stars in order to create the proper combination because the Reds lack balance.
especially at centre back, where Liverpool lost out on Marc Guehi in the closing hours of the transfer season.
However, they have also been attempting to sign a left-winger for a while, and Antoine Semenyo might become available next year, which would be a great addition to the Reds' roster.
Hughes will create a core group in the process that will be able to produce a super team for many years to come, even after its star players, like Salah and Van Dijk, have long since left.
For Hughes and Michael Edwards, this has always been the objective. They are aware that staying at the top for decades is more challenging than actually reaching it.
It is quite easy to collapse, particularly when legends retire and characters change.
Liverpool is aware of how simple it is. They experienced it in the 1990s, and following Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement in the middle of the 2010s, they witnessed Manchester United's stunning decline.
Finding the present members of the team who can step up and lead this group will undoubtedly be a crucial aspect of the future.
With a contract with the club through 2028, Dominik Szoboszlai is now the front-runner for that position. But Liverpool wants to extend his contract because they believe he may be a captain in the future.
Fabrizio Romano revealed on his YouTube channel that negotiations between Liverpool and Szoboszlai's team are presently progressing.
"Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai are new contracts that Liverpool is working on," Romano stated.
"There has already been some very preliminary discussion with Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai, and negotiations are currently moving forward between Liverpool and Szoboszlai on a new deal.
"Let me clarify. The negotiations are not yet at their conclusion. Although we have not reached a verbal agreement with Dominik Szoboszlai, Liverpool and Szoboszlai are still in communication.
So, a conversation is going on. The good news is that Liverpool is willing to increase his pay.
Even though Dominick Szoboszlai was already receiving a competitive wage, his results have been outstanding.
"Gravenberch is also performing extremely well; therefore, Liverpool wants to retain both players for the long run. However, in the last few days, Liverpool has made progress in their negotiations with Dominik Szoboszlai.
"A discussion and a negotiation are currently underway. Once more, the negotiation is far from over.
"There is still work to be done, so it is not a done deal, but there is a great connection, and Liverpool is attempting to move quickly on this one with Dominik Szoboszlai."
ENZO MARESCA HAILS ESTEVAO WILLIAN FOR ENERGIZING CHELSEA WIN AGAINST WOLVES
Teenager Estevao Willian inspired Chelsea's 3-0 comeback win over Wolves, lifting a nervous Stamford Bridge. His assist for Joao Pedro sealed the victory, sending the Blues to 2nd in the Premier League.

Estevao Willian "increased the spirit" in a nervous Stamford Bridge before leading Chelsea to a 3-0 victory over Wolves to take second place in the Premier League, according to Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca.
After dominating the bottom team in the league without making any progress, the home team was jeered off at halftime.
Six minutes into the second half, Malo Gusto's headed goal lifted the stadium, and when the Brazilian teenager was sent on, he instantly set up Joao Pedro for a second goal, dramatically changing the atmosphere.
Even though Pedro Neto scored the third goal from Alejandro Garnacho's cross, Estevao once again appeared to be in the spotlight.
"Before this game, I was really anxious," Maresca stated. "These are the most difficult games. Everyone believes it will be simple.
"I can see why many were upset in the first half because we did not score. People adore such type of player, so when Estevao entered the game, the energy level increased.
As he gets used to English football, the 18-year-old has mostly only made substitute appearances in the league.
The boy, who arrived to London from his home Brazil in the summer, had complained about the cold weather, and the manager told him to anticipate things to get worse before they get better, Maresca claimed this week.
His debut in blue has been scorching on the field, and even while he was just warming up, his impact was enough to captivate home fans during a game that they seemed to be losing interest in.
"His talent is evident," Maresca remarked. "We are working to provide him the appropriate minutes and assist him in adapting.
"He needs time to adjust after coming from Brazil, but he will start games for us in the future."
With 21 goals from 11 games, Chelsea is now leading the division in scoring, although it would have been hard to believe that after a slow first half.
Garnacho, who has been impressive since joining from Manchester United, set up two of the goals, which came within 22 minutes of the second half.
"His physical condition was not excellent because he came from a club where he was not training 100%," Maresca added. He is gradually getting better.
He is aware that in order to play with us, he must be proficient both on and off the ball; otherwise, he will not participate. We are quite pleased with him.
In the dugout for what appears to be the final time that Middlesbrough manager Rob Edwards is in talks to take over, Wolves interim manager James Collins looked at the team's strengths despite the fact that they were eight points outside of safety.
"The boys are working hard together," he remarked. They are quite cohesive and do not have any small cliques.
"We need to improve; there is still work to be done. There are still more games to play. Chelsea will not be the defining factor of our season.
