IMAGO / Action Plus

Manchester United complied and returned to the path of victory after defeating Sunderland in matchday 7 of the Premier League.

The Red Devils took the victory with a score of 2-0, with goals courtesy of Mason Mount (8') and Benjamin Sesko (31'), and a formidable performance from goalkeeper Senne Lammens, who avoided any surprise from The Black Cats.

Despite a very equal ball possession, with 51% for Man United and 49% for Sunderland, the local team was clinical on a couple of occasions that Mount and Sesko had, although in total they shot six times at the goal of the team of Regis Le Bris.

While United wasted one great chance of danger, the Black Cats wasted two; precisely the opportunities needed to tie the match.
