Following their 4-1 home defeat to Arsenal in Saturday’s early game, Sunderland have now endured the worst-ever start to a Premier League season. After falling behind to an Alexis Sanchez strike, the Black Cats did draw level against the Gunners courtesy of a second-half Jermain Defoe penalty.But further goals from Olivier Giroud (two) and Sanchez condemned David Moyes’ side to their eighth league defeat of the campaign. It leaves Sunderland rooted to the foot of the table with just two points and only Manchester City in the 1995/96 season have ever made such a poor start. But, when goal difference is taken into account, Sunderland's record is worse than City's at the same stage of the season. Already under pressure, the latest setback will only further undermine the position of Moyes with his team now overwhelming favourites to be relegated this term.</blockquote>
