Extended Premier League Highlights - Manchester City 5 - 3 Sunderland AFC

Well, Sunderland fans probably still on a high after that incredible winning return to European competition on Wednesday night at the Stadium of Light. What a night it was on Wearside. Well, from Wearside to Manchester and the Etihad Stadium for a very difficult Premier League fixture. Sunderland have never won here in the Premier League era, last beating Manchester City away, way back in 1981. Well, heading into the international break, Sunderland will be hopeful of putting on a decent showing here today. Well, with Reynaldo out suspended, there's just the one change from last weekend's Premier League game against Arsenal. Dejan Mothali comes in for his Premier League debut. There are, in fact, five changes from the Europa League win on Wednesday night. Mallard, Meunier, Angulo and Robbie all restored to the starting XI. And, as I say, Mothali in for Reynaldo. One enforced Manchester City change, two with Phil Foden suspended. Illyman Ajay starts this one. Off we go, then. He just agrees to have his team mark that milestone with victory at the Etihad. Takes space, and what about that for a pinpoint pass? And a superb finish. The Dutch international taking the first chance that comes his way today. Getting the better of Donnariver in the City goal with the out. And Danso, that's the City open, it's two apiece. And again, three minutes after going behind, Sunderland level matters at the Etihad. Quick thinking by Granit Xhaka. And Enzo Lefebvre, brilliant once more, just slipped this ball in. Is he onside? Certainly looks level. And the cutback, superb from Meunier. Brian Brobbey on hand to steer it into the empty net. Corner played short. Enzo Fernandes. Anderson. That is half-time, a riveting first half at the Etihad, which has seen five goals. Sunderland, at least on two occasions, fall behind initially. Fernandes got the opener on nine minutes. Brobbey responded on 12 minutes, thought Schurke put City back in front just before the half-hour mark, but Brobbey was at it again three minutes later. Granit Xhaka's ball into the penalty area, Angulo. Brobbey has his hat-trick. It's 4-3, hat-trick for Sunderland. And they're back in it again. They never give up. Keep on fighting till the end. Good ball from Granit Xhaka, Angulo's touch on Brobbey, again into an empty net. And Sunderland are fighting once more. Xhaka lifts towards the penalty area, the keeper's coming forward. Oh, got there first. Recovered sufficiently to scoop it from off the goals, but Sunderland on the wrong end of a five-peat scoreline to defeat.
