Relieved Moyes eyes winning run

A relieved David Moyes knows there is plenty of work still to do after Sunderland ended its 10-match winless start to the Premier League season by coming from behind to beat Bournemouth 2-1.

The visitors trailed to Dan Gosling's goal at Vitality Stadium on Saturday and, after Victor Anichebe had leveled, saw Steven Pienaar sent off for a second yellow card, a disbelieving Moyes looking on from the stands as the Scot served a one-match touchline ban following a misconduct charge.

But the Black Cats weathered the storm, with goalkeeper Jordan Pickford in inspired form, and came up with a winner when Anichebe was fouled in the box and Jermain Defoe converted from the spot to breathe new life into Sunderland's battle against the drop.
