Sunderland vs West Ham

Sunderland ended a run of eight league matches against West Ham without a win (D4 L4), gaining their first victory against the Hammers since January 2013 (also 3-0).

In Eliezer Mayenda, Dan Ballard and Wilson Isidor, Sunderland are the first team to have three players score on their Premier League debut in the same match since Reading against Middlesborough in August 2006 (Dave Kitson, Steve Sidwell and Leroy Lita).

West Ham (902) became the fourth team to concede 900 away goals in the Premier League, after Everton (925), Spurs (922) and Newcastle (912), with the Hammers doing so in the fewest number of matches (556).

Sunderland are winless in their last eight league games against West Ham (D4 L4), most recently a 2-2 draw in April 2017.

West Ham have lost just one of their last 17 Premier League games against promoted sides (W13 D3), going down 3-1 at Leicester in December last season.

This is the fourth time West Ham are starting a Premier League campaign against a promoted side, with the Hammers winning each of the previous three (v Barnsley in 1997-98, Wolves in 2009-10 and Cardiff in 2013-14).

As a Premier League side, Sunderland haven’t won their opening match in any of the last seven seasons (D4 L3), most recently losing 2-1 to Pep Guardiola’s Man City in 2016-17.

West Ham have lost their opening match of a Premier League season more times than any other side (16), with the Hammers also conceding more MD1 goals than anyone else (50).
