Sunderland secured a 1-0 victory over Burnley at the Stadium of Light, marking their best start to a league season in 99 years with three consecutive wins. Romaine Mundle scored the decisive goal in the 26th minute, showcasing his skills after stepping in for the departed Jack Clarke. Despite playing the final minutes with ten men due to Dan Neil's red card, Sunderland's defense held strong against Burnley, who struggled to capitalize on their earlier scoring form. Under new head coach Regis Le Bris, Sunderland has not only won all three league games but also kept clean sheets in each match. This performance has placed them at the top of the Championship table, while Burnley faced their first loss under manager Scott Parker.
