80' Hull hit the post after their second, should probably have three or four...

85' Sunderland's fringe team struggling, Hull on top

Full-time: 2-1 Hull. Talbi and Adingra looked more involved this time out but a very laboured performance. A couple of low-par performances following the positive run-outs vs Lisbon and Seville. #SAFC

Regis Le Bris was his astute self last night. Stressed patience and belief that Sunderland are growing and the pre-season set backs are all part and parcel. IMO we’ll see improved efforts and intensity this weekend.

Yeah, we're back.

The atmosphere at the Stadium of Light after Sunderland beat West Ham 3-0 was special👏 Good to have them back in the Premier League.

Eye watering stuff 🤯 wish me granda was still here to see this man #Sunderland #SAFC #PremierLeague

“Dear Sunderland, I wanted to write to you about my mate Jack.” When Sunderland AFC’s Wilson Isidor read Jack’s story, he felt compelled to visit his Mum, Jackie. What followed will remain with them forever ❤️

Absolutely mental that some daft opposition fans last season told us that Enzo Le Fee was nothing special for Championship level 😂😂😂 #SAFC

Just contrast this to the attitude of the players we had last time we were in the Prem. No comparison, really

And Le Bris done it again. Le Fee was top class today. Love it.

I thought xhaka’s legs had gone? What is he doing making the assist from the only blade of grass he hadn’t yet covered in the 90? Elite footballer

The Kawhi Leonard-fake tree planting sponsorship to circumvent the NBA salary cap story this week is one of the greatest pieces of investigative journalism in sports of modern times, and as a bonus it is endlessly entertaining to listen to. Highly recommend if you’re a sports fan

This Sunderland team continues to impress not only for its quality but for its desire, discipline and heart To play with 10-men in the PL for 60 mins and score an equaliser after falling behind is no mean feat Sadiki, Xhaka, Talbi, Ballard, Mukiele and Alderete superb #SAFC

Granit Xhaka is the best player we’ve ever had
