However, the Black Cats' second chance was very much on target, as Daniel Ballard scored a goal from Nordi Mukiele's knockdown, ending the Gunners' remarkable clean sheet streak of eight games.
William Saliba had a chance to equalize in the first half, but he struck his half-volley over the bar. The Gunners continued to press in the second half, with Bukayo Saka eventually scoring an equalizer with his weaker right foot.
The pressure from Arsenal was relentless, and Leandro Trossard provided the second goal with a pinpoint strike into the top corner from the edge of the box.
However, Brobbey's late equalizer in the 94th minute gave Sunderland a share of the spoils, beating David Raya to the ball with an acrobatic finish. The match ended with a 2-2 draw, as the Black Cats climbed into third place in the Premier League table.
The unbeaten home league record of Sunderland this season was extended to six matches, while the Gunners' unbeaten head-to-head record in the Premier League was also extended to 16 games.
