Eight Goal Thrillers Won't Save Sunderland's Season The Manchester City Sunderland game was an eight goal thriller that ended 5 3 in favor of Manchester City.
This match had all the makings of a classic Premier League contest, but scratch beneath the surface and you'll find a season slowly unraveling for Sunderland.
New manager Enzo Maresca has managed to get his team into a rhythm, securing five successive league wins before this game. However, these victories have been marred by an alarming lack of defensive solidity.
