Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris hailed Arsenal as ‘the best team in Europe’ after his side’s 3-0 defeat at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.

Mikel Arteta’s side are now nine points clear at the top of the Premier League as a goal from Martin Zubimendi and a second-half double from substitute Viktor Gyokeres sealed the win for the Gunners.

Arsenal delivered another dominant performance at home, restricting Sunderland to just three shots on target all game.

Speaking after Sunderland’s defeat, Le Bris said Arsenal are ‘really impressive’ and insists Arteta has the squad depth to win the Premier League title.

‘We are still a newly promoted side against maybe the best team in Europe at the minute,’ Le Bris said.

‘They’ve built this team over many years. We’re not at the same stage and we have to take the lesson. It’s important to build on strong foundations and improve those details.
