US EditionArsenal 'to Hold Meeting' After Sunderland's 'Dangerous' Tactic in Draw
Sunderland's tactic reduced Arsenal's set-piece threat, limiting long throws and corners to two, but raised player safety concerns after a recent fatal collision near the pitch.
- On Saturday at the Stadium of Light, Sunderland shifted advertising hoardings closer to the pitch to limit Arsenal’s long throws, and Brian Brobbey rescued a 2-2 draw with an injury-time equaliser.
- By reducing run-up space, Sunderland prevented Declan Rice and Riccardo Calafiori from lengthy throws, with Regis Le Bris, Sunderland manager, saying `Yeah, we tried to find the details to win the game`.
- Arsenal's set-piece output showed they were limited to just two corners, while Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard scored second-half goals from open play.
- Richard Keys, beIN Sports host, said Arsenal will hold an internal meeting on Monday amid accusations Sunderland endangered player safety after Billy Vigar's recent fatality.
- No rules have been broken, Sunderland acted within their rights, and commentators called the move very smart and a talking point that went unnoticed by Arsenal, with officials noting at least a metre must separate the hoarding and touchline.
