Burnley vs Sunderland LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

The full-time whistle blows to a chorus of cheers as Burnley defeat Sunderland 2-0 at Turf Moor. After a first half which lacked any real threat from both sides, it was the home side who took the lead early in the second half. An exquisite backheel by Anthony allowed Burnley captain Cullen to curl in a low 18-yard effort into the bottom-right corner. The Black Cats struggled to create a clear opportunity after the goal, and it was the Clarets who soon doubled their lead. This time, Cullen turned provider after playing a delightful through ball from his own half to Anthony, who skipped past Roefs before firing into the roof of the net. The result sees the hosts claim their first three points of the Premier League campaign, which sees them move up to 11th in the league table. For the Black Cats, they suffered their first defeat of the league this season and will be hoping the first-half injury to Ballard is not a serious one. Scott Parker's men were able to finish their chances in the second half and this was reflected through an xG of 0.96, whereas, Regis Le Bris' side finished the game with an xG of 0.67.
