Sunderland Stun Chelsea for First Win of the Season
Sunderland finally have their first win of the Premier League season, beating Chelsea 1-0 at the Stadium of Light on Sunday in the biggest shock of the weekend.
A penalty from Le Fée proved the difference in a game where the hosts were well worth their win, as Chelsea were second best for long spells and never found a way through.
The victory lifts Sunderland off the bottom of the table and saves manager Le Bris from mounting pressure, while Chelsea head into the international break with serious questions to answer.
A win worth waiting for
Sunderland had waited all season for a first three points, and the manner of it — a disciplined, committed display against one of the division's big spenders — will give the whole club a huge lift.
Chelsea left frustrated
The visitors struggled to impose themselves and paid the price for a flat performance, with the defeat underlining that their early-season inconsistency is still far from solved.
