Sunderland set record for worst Premier League start

With two points and a goal difference of -13, Sunderland boast the worst record for the opening 10 games of a Premier League season.

Sunderland have officially made the worst start of any team to a Premier League season following their 4-1 defeat to Arsenal at the Stadium of Light.

Two goals from Olivier Giroud and Alexis Sanchez sealed the victory for Arsene Wenger's side and left David Moyes still waiting for his first win since succeeding Sam Allardyce.

Sunderland have now lost eight of their opening 10 games, posting just two points, and have a goal difference of -13, making theirs a worse start to a season than that achieved by former record holders Manchester City in 1995.
