BURNLEY got their Premier League campaign up and running with a 2-0 win over Sunderland.

Second-half goals from Josh Cullen and Jaidon Anthony gave them their first points back in the big time in the battle of the promoted teams.

Cullen slotted home just 98 seconds after the restart and Anthony bagged a breakaway goal in the final five minutes.

Burnley finished 24 points ahead of the Black Cats last season, but the margin between the two teams looks set to be much closer this time around, so this could be a big win.

Boss Scott Parker celebrated his first Premier League win in almost three years as they look to avoid an instant return to the Championship.
