Sunderland endured a difficult afternoon at the Emirates Stadium as they suffered an away defeat at the hands of Arsenal. The Gunners opened up an early lead through Olivier Giroud, who then doubled the advantage just after the half-hour to put the home side in a commanding position.
Tomas Rosicky made it 3-0 late in the first half and Laurent Koscielny rounded off the hosts' scoring with a powerful header in the early stages of the second period. Emanuele Giaccherini netted his fourth goal of the season late on for Sunderland, who improved after the break after Arsenal had dominated the opening 45 minutes.
The good news was that Carlos Cuellar is also in the squad as a substitute after being sidelined with a hip injury for three months.
