Story of the match: Fall and then, rise!
Sunderland v Manchester United - Premier League

David Moyes gains some breathing space with this win but Sunderland will have to step up in their search of a new manager.

Manchester United come back from behind to win 2-1 against a sorry Sunderland side. David Moyes, rightly, has a smile on his face. Adnan Januzaj is a gem that has finally been unleashed by Manchester United. Sunderland, have a lot to do, or else, they are going down.

Sunderland v Manchester United - Premier League

Poor showing by Manchester United yet again. After conceding the early goal, they have not been able to barge inside the Sunderland half in search of a goal. Sunderland, on the other hand, have done themselves a huge favour by this spirited performance. Will they get their first win of the season against the defending champions?
