Sunderland Mark EPL Return With 3-0 Victory Over West Ham

Sunderland marked their return to the English Premier League with a 3-0 victory over West Ham United at the Stadium of Light on Saturday. The Black Cats ended their winless streak from last season's opener with a comprehensive win.
The first half saw both teams settling into the game, with West Ham posing a threat through Bowen and Diouf. Sunderland broke the deadlock in the second half with Mayenda's header from Alderete's delivery.
Ballard doubled the lead with a header, while Isidor sealed the win with a composed finish in stoppage time. The defeat extended West Ham's unwanted record of 17 losses in 18 opening matches.
The result raised questions about Graham Potter's tactical approach, with Sunderland's clinical performance shining through.
