5 things we learned from the Premier League weekend

Sunderland have given themselves a chance

Arguably the biggest result of the weekend was Sunderland’s 2-1 success away at Bournemouth, their first league win of the campaign.

At 1-0 down after 11 minutes, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the Black Cats might have a different manager in place for their game against Hull after the international break, but David Moyes’ side showed the spirit and character unseen from them in the early stages of the season to get back into the match.

Victor Anichebe was excellent throughout and got the equaliser, and then the ever-reliable Jermain Defoe slotted home a second half penalty to secure the win.

However, it was a much better team effort from Sunderland, with Jordan Pickford outstanding in goal and Duncan Watmore full of running, and it gives them a foundation to build on going forward.

Although they are still bottom, they have given themselves a chance of avoiding the drop.
