Sunderland sinks Southampton with five-star show
Southamtpon’s unbeaten start to the EFL Championship season came crashing to an end as Russell Martin’s side was blown away 5-0 by a brilliant Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
Sunderland fans taunted Ross Stewart after the injured striker’s deadline-day switch to Saints as Tony Mowbray’s side built on a dream start and stunned the visitors.
Jack Clarke scored the opening goal after just 52 seconds before Pierre Ekwah added a deflected second six minutes later.
The outstanding Ekwah scored his second and Sunderland’s third on the stroke of half-time. Bradley Dack added a fourth early in the second half before 16-year-old substitute Chris Rigg rounded off a perfect afternoon with his first League goal in the fifth minute of stoppage-time.
The win means Sunderland, which signed four players on deadline day including Chelsea loanee Mason Burstow, is now unbeaten in three games.
