Watch: Arsenal 2 - 1 Sunderland

Arsenal won a precious three points at the Emirates against Sunderland thanks to a great double by their captain and talisman, Robin van Persie.

The Dutch master opened the scoring in the 29th second, giving the whole team and fans at the ground an almighty early boost amidst their poor start to the season. However, despite dominating the game from there on in, Sunderland were allowed back into the game when Mikel Arteta conceded a free-kick just outside the area.

Who would step up, but former Arsenal boy, Sebastian Larsson, who curled an absolute beauty into the top corner, unstoppably passing Sczcesny in the Arsenal goal. It was a blow, but a blow that Arsenal have become used to this season. They carried on as they were after a shaky few minutes, and at last got their reward through the quite fantastic Robin van Persie.

He had narrowly missed scoring an absolute stunner of a goal early in the first half with a sublime chip which hit the post, but the winner was scored with all of the power, pace and accuracy that is contained in that wondrous left foot of his. Enjoy the goals below:
