David Moyes made an unsuccessful return to Old Trafford as his Sunderland team slid to a 3-1 defeat to leave them well ensconced in the bottom three -- although they are still two points from safety. The Wearsiders never really looked like taking anything from a smooth and effective Manchester United but there were some positives to take into crucial games at Burnley and at home to title challengers Liverpool.
The game hinged on a catastrophic error by central midfielder Didier Ndong. He was given a poor pass by Lamine Kone but should have controlled the ball far better than he did.
