Sunderland’s impressive start to life back in the Premier League continued as the Wearsiders beat winless Wolves 2-0 at the Stadium of Light.

Regis Le Bris's well-drilled team have now earned 10 points from their first four home matches of a top-flight campaign for the first time since 1968-69 and despite sustained second-half Wolves pressure, were worth their hard-earned victory.

Sunderland opened the scoring after a lovely passing move involving both full-backs as Nordi Mukiele and Trai Hume played a neat one-two on the edge of the area, with the former sweeping home from close range, albeit with a helping hand - literally - from Wolves goalkeeper Sam Johnstone.

The visitors struggled dealing with a series of long Mukiele throws throughout the first period, one of which nearly produced a second goal after a flick on fell to the unmarked Hume at the back post, only for the right back's close-range header to strike the outside of the post.
