Light the blue touch-paper and stand well back: Sunderland have won a game. David Moyes recorded his first Premier League victory in 946 days and Sunderland their first of the season after coming from behind to win at Bournemouth.

“I’d nearly forgotten what it felt like to smile,” said Moyes. “We’ve got to keep going. You’ve got to get two wins. It’s certainly getting closer,” he added.

“In some ways, it does show that it maybe was not just down to Moyes,” said the Sunderland manager of his time at Manchester United, speaking of Jose Mourinho’s recent difficulties.
