Premier League leaders Arsenal have conceded their first goal in 881 minutes and then again in stoppage time to draw 2-2 with Sunderland, a result that breathes new life into the title race.
Brian Brobbey's goal in the fourth minute of added time ended Arsenal's winning run of five matches in the league - and 10 in all competitions.
Arsenal hadn't let in a goal since September 28 - nine games ago - before their former academy player Dan Ballard lashed in the opener for Sunderland in the 36th minute at the Stadium of Light.
"I felt a pain in my tummy," Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said. "I don't want to concede any goals."

Back in the Premier League for the first time in eight years, Sunderland gave the leaders their most uncomfortable game for some time but second-half strikes by Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard looked like earning Arsenal a battling victory.
Brobbey's late equaliser, after the substitute beat goalkeeper David Raya and defender Gabriel Magalhaes to the loose ball after a flick-on, means Arsenal's lead is now six points over second-placed Chelsea, who beat managerless Wolverhampton 3-0.
Tottenham and Manchester United both scored stoppage-time goals in a wild finish to their 2-2 draw, while there were also wins for West Ham and Everton.
Just when it looked like Richarlison's glancing header in the first minute of added-on time had sealed victory for Tottenham, Manchester United equalised with a header of their own from Matthijs de Ligt five minutes later.

United extended their unbeaten streak in the league to five games.
Yet the 40-year-old Portuguese coach insisted his team still had "a lot of problems" after squandering going ahead, going behind and then equalising for the second straight week.
"We're just in the beginning," Amorim said. "I know that sometimes the results show to people that we are improving. We're improving but we have a lot to do,"
All of Chelsea's goals came in the second half against Wolves.
Malo Gusto and Pedro Neto converted crosses by Alejandro Garnacho either side of Joao Pedro's finish from a cross by lively substitute Estevao.

Winless Wolves stayed in last place on just two points from 11 games.
West Ham beat Burnley 3-2 to secure back-to-back victories under recently-hired manager Nuno Espirito Santo, after last weekend's win over Newcastle, and only remain in the relegation zone on goal difference.
Everton ended a three-match winless run by beating Fulham 2-0 thanks to goals by Idrissa Gana Gueye and Michael Keane.
