"Kai Havertz was presented with a free header from a Leandro Trossard cross with not even a minute on the clock but the German did not get enough on it in what was a good early chance spurned. Sunderland should then have put the visitors ahead when David Raya was unable to claim the ball from a set piece as the ball fell to Brian Brobbey, whose shot was brilliantly read by Havertz to block the danger."
"The Black Cats will have had a huge sigh of relief when a sliced clearance by Trai Hume almost found its way into the top corner in what would have been a bizarre way to open the scoring. Declan Rice went close with a brilliant curling effort from distance which flew a matter of inches past the post."

Sunderland threatened on set pieces and almost benefited from a sliced clearance by Trai Hume. Chemsdine Talbi forced a second-half save from Raya. Viktor Gyokeres came off the bench to score twice, sealing the victory.
