Arsenal's probability of retaining the Premier League title has climbed significantly, following the Gunners' hard-fought victory at the Stadium of Light against Sunderland.
The match turned on a critical moment in the second half when Sunderland's Enzo Le Fee stepped up to take a penalty that could have given the hosts the lead.

Le Fee failed to convert, and Arsenal punished them almost immediately. Bruno Guimaraes broke the deadlock to put the Gunners in front, and Bukayo Saka sealed the result deep into the second half, completing a 2-0 victory for the away side.
The win kept Arsenal's perfect start to the new Premier League season intact, with the defending champions showing the resilience expected of a title-chasing side on a difficult away trip.
Supercomputer predicts Premier League winner
As noted by The Analyst, which publishes Opta⁹'s supercomputer data, now gives Arsenal a 58.94% chance of winning the league this season.
That figure represents a jump of nearly 7% compared to their pre-match probability and places them more than 30% ahead of Manchester City in the title race projections.
Before the international break, Arsenal face another away fixture, this time against Brighton, as noted by Arsenal.com.
That match will give Mikel Arteta's side another opportunity to extend their lead at the top of the standings and push their title odds even higher heading into the first break of the season.
