Sunderland 5-0 Southampton: Black Cats defeat in-form Saints to claim their second win
Jack Clarke’s first goal was timed at 52 seconds for Sunderland.
Sunderland defeated in-form Southampton to start their championship season in emphatic fashion at a raucous Stadium of Light.
The Saints had won three and drawn one of their first four games, but never quite recovered once Jack Clarke ducked to head the home team in the first minute off Trai Hume’s beautiful cross.
The lead was doubled six minutes later when Pierre Ekwah received a pass on the edge of the box, was not blocked and fired a low shot that Flynn Downes deflected past Gavin Bazunu.
Ekwah scored the Black Cats’ third just before half-time, cutting off a Mason Holgate pass and firing a shot past Bazunu at his near post.
Bradley Dack put the game out of doubt when he slotted in Abdoullah Ba’s cross from close range just after half-time.
Teenager Chris Rigg capped a dominant second league win of the season with a genius header in stoppage time, dispatching a taunting cross from Jewison Bennette with ease.
Southampton only managed to upset goalkeeper Anthony Patterson on limited occasions, with Holgate and Sekou Mara deflected on two of their best chances.
The Saints’ inability to defeat the Wearsiders left boss Russell Martin frustrated, often with his head in his hands, as the hosts cruised to a comfortable victory..
Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray has spoken of his desire to sign a striker. with Ross Stewart coincidentally now a Southampton player, but his team proved they could manage without the Scotsman after a clinical display.
Jack Clarke’s constant probing, Abdoullah Ba’s runs to stretch the defense and Dack’s tenderness around the box gave Mowbray’s team a different dimension, while Ekwah’s eye for goal is a welcome addition to their ability. to command the midfield.
By contrast, Southampton have a wealth of surprising talent to add to Stewart’s arrival once he is fit, with the billionaire signings of Adam Armstrong and Che Adams in the squad.
However, they lacked the midfield control to utilize their attacking talents and defensively appeared shaky against a succession of clever crosses from the hosts.
Tony Mowbray, Sunderland boss:
“The result is important for the team and the spirit.
“It’s been a tough week in preparation, in terms of speculation about many of our players. Yesterday in training there were rumors that certain clubs were eyeing certain players and this disturbs young footballers.
“I can see them talking to each other and yet they were very professional today. We all turned up and did what we hoped we could do.”
“I’m happy for the day and happy for the fans. On paper this is a really tough game. I looked at their squad at the back of the program and saw name after name after name of really experienced, high-quality footballers.”
Russell Martin, Southampton manager:
“I’m so sorry for the fans that came out, they were amazing until the end and we have to make sure that this is the toughest day we’ve ever had and we have to learn from it.
“All we talk about is getting off to a good start. It’s a young team at Sunderland and when the wind is in their favor they are very good, but when they get off to a difficult start it can be difficult for them to get the game back.”
“But the game went well for them. They had momentum after the start, brilliant momentum and we didn’t have enough of that.”
“They did everything well, they fought, they came out victorious from duels, they worked very hard, we didn’t, we went into self-preservation mode, which I think is still a hangover from last season.
“It’s the first loss, but the way it happens hurts a lot.”
