Finally! Sunderland fans and David Moyes breathe a huge sigh of relief after the Black Cats have picked up their first win of the Premier League season. After battling on with a below average squad and a string of injuries, David Moyes and Sunderland now have 5 points, but have a herculean task ahead of them to stay in the League next season.

However, kudos to Moyes after the Scotsman finally found the winning formula. Jermaine Defore linked up with Victor Anichebe beautifully up front and they were the X-factor that Sunderland needed. Sunderland should trust in Moyes and hope he could continue this and complete yet another mind-blowing escape with Sunderland, something they have been popular for over the last few seasons.

How do you stop this team?

After a shaky start to the season where Liverpool picked up just 4 points from their first three games, the Red have been unstoppable picking up eight wins in eight games. Liverpool has been unbeaten for over two months now and it all comes down to what Jurgen Klopp has done to this group of players.

While Liverpool has conceded a lot of goals, with their breathtaking attacking football, the Reds have always outscored their opponents scoring 30 goals (the highest this season). Phillippe Coutinho and Roberto Firminio have paired up like Salt and Pepper while Sadio Mane has been fantastic as well. Henderson has taken the role of ‘enforcer’ and Liverpool look like they can't put a step wrong at the moment.
