David Moyes, the manager who oversaw a disastrous relegation for Sunderland eight years ago, found a very different club on his first return to the Stadium of Light. Back then, the club were on a downward slope. Now, things are on the up.
Régis Le Bris’s side moved up to fourth place ahead of Saturday’s home game against the Premier League leaders, Arsenal, after a 1-1 draw against Moyes’s Everton. A deflected strike from the impressive Granit Xhaka cancelled out Iliman Ndiaye’s brilliant opening goal.
