Arsenal suffered their first defeat in 14 games as Darren Bent fired Sunderland to a 1-0 win in the Premier League at the Stadium of Light. Bent struck 19 minutes from time to seal a tight contest after the Gunners had failed to make the most of the possession they enjoyed. It might have been different had Marton Fulop not denied Tomas Rosicky with a vital fifth minute save or had referee Alan Wiley...
