Sunderland 1-4 Arsenal

Watch the highlights from the Stadium of Light as Arsenal thrashed Sunderland 4-1 in the Premier League on Saturday.

Olivier Giroud's first goals of the season handed Arsenal victory and Sunderland the unwanted Premier League record of the worst-ever start to a Premier League season.

The France forward struck twice within five minutes of being introduced as a 69th-minute substitute to kill off hopes of a Black Cats' fightback after Jermain Defoe's penalty had cancelled out Alexis Sanchez's first-half opener.

Sanchez helped himself to a second - the last three goals came inside a chaotic seven-minute period - to leave Sunderland with only two points from their first 10 league games, matching Manchester City's low in 1995-96.

The Gunners, who have now gone 14 games unbeaten in all competitions since the opening day of the campaign, probably should have had the game won by half-time, but beleaguered boss David Moyes was given hope by Defoe's spot-kick, only for the visitors to respond in brutal fashion.
