Sunderland’s 10 Best Premier League Games Since They Won Promotion

10. Sunderland 5-2 Wolves - 2009/10

First up is a good hammering. 

This was the only occasion in Sunderland’s latest spell in the Premier League where they’ve managed to score five goals, hence why it makes this list.

After Darren Bent and Kenwyne Jones each scored a penalty, Sunderland typically slipped up.

The performance itself wasn’t as convincing as the scoreline suggests, with the Sunderland defenders typically shooting themselves in the foot to let Wolves back in the game. A short five minute spell saw Wolves score two goals, but this did little to stop a rampant Sunderland strike force.

Kenwyne Jones added his second of the game, before a Michael Turner header and Michael Mancienne own goal sealed the emphatic victory.
