The Stadium of Light was rocking once again on Saturday lunchtime as Sunderland kicked off the post-Tony Mowbray era with a 2-1 win against West Bromwich Albion.

The Whites will arrive on Wearside looking to rack up a fourth consecutive win and Dan James and Crysencio Summerville both scored in their 2-0 win at Blackburn Rovers. Daniel Farke's men have moved on from a slow start to the season and now look like genuine contenders to secure an immediate return to the Premier League.
