Will Sunderland stay in The Premier League

Sunderland put on a display a wonderful performance against Liverpool. The match at The Stadium of Light finished with a 2-2 draw after a lot of drama in the end of it. However, The Black Cats kept on showing lots of weaknesses in defence, as they allowed their opponent to create a lot of goal-scoring opportunities. The goalkeeper Mannone must be proud of his performance after saving several difficult shots towards his goal.

To begin with, Liverpool opened the score in the 19th minute after a corner kick. Daniel Sturridge put the ball into the net with his head after Lovren’s assist. Then, The Black Cats organized several good attacks and they were awarded with a penalty, which was converted into a goal by Jermaine Defoe in the 25th minute of the game.

Sadio Mane managed to score again for The Reds after the break. He took advantage of the poor marking by the Sunderland defenders and put the ball into the net from about 3 metres. However, just 12 minutes later Mane blocked the ball with his hand in the box and gave Defoe the chance to score again from the spot. The Englishman scored his 11th goal of the season to get Sunderland back on level terms.

At both ends, the season for Sunderland so far looks exactly the same as the previous one! In comparison, The Black Cats had 15 points after the first 20 matches in the last campaign, the same number as their record this season! Their first victory of the campaign in the league was approximately at the same period, as in the last season. Do you remember what happened in the end of the 2015/16 season? Sunderland avoided relegation! The task will be difficult again, but there are no easy matches in The Premiership! You can give it a try, betting on it, because the traditions matter in England! Sunderland NOT to relegate – 2.75!
