Manchester United earned a comfortable victory over Sunderland
with a decent if unspectacular performance.
Wayne Rooney ended his Premier League goal drought as Manchester
United moved to the top of the table with a 3-0 win over Sunderland at
Old Trafford on Saturday.
The England captain’s first league strike for 1,000 minutes was
sandwiched by efforts from Memphis Depay and Juan Mata as United
leapfrogged Manchester City.
Louis van Gaal’s men headed into the fixture knowing victory would lift
them to the summit following City’s 4-1 loss at Tottenham Hotspur.
That scenario doubtless added to the frustration of the home supporters
as United failed to craft a meaningful opportunity for much of the
opening half.
Yet they still headed into the break ahead after Depay finished a fine
move for his first league goal since joining United from PSV Eindhoven
in the close season.
Rooney’s long-awaited goal came just after the break and Mata added a
third late on to cap another miserable afternoon for the Wearsiders.
