It makes Sunderland's start even more of an outlier, with the Black Cats challenging perceptions about making too many changes to a squad that have earned promotion. "It's an unbelievable start and one that's been well earned," former Watford captain Troy Deeney told Final Score.

Former Sunderland player Marco Gabbiadini is full of praise for the performance of Regis Le Bris's squad, especially defenders Omar Alderete and Dan Ballard.

To describe Sunderland's start merely as a dream would be to do it a disservice. With 17 points from nine matches, they have not only bucked the recent trend of newly promoted sides struggling in the Premier League but they have defied critics that accused them of making too many signings.

Despite his links to local rivals Middlesbrough, Michael Carrick had no problem heaping praise on Sunderland in a recent appearance on Match of the Day. And, the former Man United midfielder claimed that Sunderland should be given even more credit for the fact they came up through the play-offs and lost time in their summer preparations.

According to Italian outlet Corriere di Bologna via Sports Witness, Sunderland are looking to secure the services of Bologna man Lucumi during the January transfer window. The report claims that the Black Cats have not been deterred by their summer failure to bring the 27-year-old defender to the Premier League.

Regis Le Bris made the bold decision to replace number one goalkeeper Anthony Patterson in the summer, with Dutch star Robin Roefs coming in. Suffice it to say that was the right decision. Roefs has firmly established himself as Sunderland’s first-choice ‘keeper and has singlehandedly won the Black Cats points on more than one occasion.

Sunderland took another massive step toward avoiding relegation from the Premier League on Saturday, as the Black Cats beat winless Wolves 2-0 at the Stadium of Light.

Saturday was another action-packed day across Europe, as multiple Premier League matches saw shock results. Liverpool hosted Brentford and tied their worst-ever run in the Premier League, falling 3-2 for their fourth straight loss in the league.
