SUNDERLAND edged to their fourth Premier League win of the season with a 2-0 victory over strugglers Wolves.

Nordi Mukiele sent the Black Cats ahead at the Stadium of Light with a low effort that bounced between the legs of keeper Sam Johnstone.

The visitors controlled the game after halftime but were unable to convert from promising positions, and saw good chances as Tolu Arokodare and Jackson Tchatchoua missed the target towards the end.

Any hopes of a possible comeback were then ended when Ladislav Krejci deflected the ball into his own net in stoppage time as Sunderland wrapped up three points.

With four wins under their belt this season, the newly-promoted Black Cats sit in the top half of the table.

Boss Regis Le Bris said: "Important win, tough win. I think we started well. I'm really pleased with the first half, it was like expected.
