Sunderland problems laid bare as Arsenal punish Moyes' men
David Moyes bemoaned his side's defending after Sunderland lost 4-1 to Arsenal.Sunderland's problems at the foot of the Premier League deepened when a smooth-passing Arsenal side scored three times in seven minutes to stroll to a 4-1 win at the Stadium of Light on Saturday.
Jermain Defoe had levelled the scores with a 65th penalty during a brief bright spell for the home side. But the Sunderland defence buckled alarmingly and would have lost by a much heavier margin but for Arsenal's inconsistent finishing. If it was a logical outcome of a top against bottom clash, the gulf in quality in most positions was frightening.
