Five talking points from Game week 9 in the Premier League

Sunderland finally get their first win and things are finally starting to look up on wear side

Sunderland: Finally back

Sunderland came into this game in a run of form that would have seen them finish as the worst side to have ever played in the Premier League. Their form book read, eight games, seven defeats and 20 goals conceded and the man who kept them up last season, sacked, only to be a replaced by a similar eccentric coach.

So, you would have been forgiven for thinking that Newcastle United who were coming into a bit of form, would just run away with the game. But as they say, the form book goes out of the window in a derby and Sunderland managed to claim their first win of the campaign against their bitter rivals. Although Newcastle edged the possession, Sunderland were clinical in their finishing and two goals from Steven Fletcher and substitute, Fabio Borini were enough to send the Stadium of Light into ecstasy. The Black Cats will be hoping for a few more nights like these before the season is out.
