Premier League Sunday Recap: Arsenal Deny City, Sunderland Hold Villa

The Premier League served up tension and late drama on Sunday, September 21, 2025.

At the Emirates, Arsenal and Manchester City shared the spoils in a 1–1 draw. Erling Haaland’s strike looked set to give City victory until Gabriel Martinelli struck deep into stoppage time to rescue a point for the Gunners.

Elsewhere, Bournemouth and Newcastle United could not be separated in a 0–0 deadlock on the South Coast. Both sides created openings, but wasteful finishing and disciplined defending kept the scoreboard blank.

At the Stadium of Light, Sunderland and Aston Villa battled to a 1–1 draw. The Black Cats showed resilience to cancel out Villa’s attacking threats and ensure the points were split.

With these results, Liverpool remain at the top with a perfect record, while Arsenal and City keep pace in the chase for early-season momentum.
