Djibril Cisse was twice denied by Manuel Almunia in a low-quality first half that had very few chances.
Robin van Persie’s volley was superbly saved by Craig Gordon before Sunderland went ahead when Leadbitter’s cracking 20-yard shot crashed in off the bar.
But Fabregas nodded in Van Persie’s corner to salvage a point for Arsenal.
It is the second consecutive weekend that Arsenal have failed to win and claim the top spot in the Premier League – and there must now be huge concerns about their title aspirations.
