Bournemouth 1 Sunderland 2: Defoe ends Black Cats' winless run

David Moyes watched on from the stands as Sunderland finally won in the Premier League, despite finishing with 10 men at Bournemouth.

Jermain Defoe's penalty ended 10-man Sunderland's winless start to the season as the Black Cats came from behind to triumph 2-1 at Bournemouth on Saturday.

A familiar story looked set to unfold after the visitors – with under-fire manager David Moyes serving a touchline ban following a misconduct charge – fell behind to Dan Gosling's 11th-minute goal.

But Victor Anichebe marked his first start for the club by breaking his 546-day top-flight goal drought before the break before playing a pivotal role in Sunderland's unlikely winner.
