Sunderland Open Manchester United's Healing Wound





















Situations seemed to be getting better for Manchester United after their last two games where they won the first by 3-1 and drew the second match by 1-1.However, things turned sour for United this afternoon when Sunderland opened their healing wound by beating them 2-1.

Wahbi Khazri's early goal in the first three minutes through a free-kick put the host ahead, before Anthony Martial leveled up. Interestingly the host scored a second goal through a corner kick taken by Khazri and converted to a goal by Lamine Kone's header.

The win is a boost for Sunderland who have at least increased their hope of moving away from the relegation zone which is also dependent on their performance in the next match. 

Manchester United who are fifth on the table with 41 points are now being trailed by Southampton and West Ham who are on 40 points each, while the margin between United and Manchester City who are in the fourth position has increased in a geometrical progression.
