Aston Villa’s frustrating start to the season continued as Sunderland’s Black Cats held Unai Emery’s men to a draw, prolonging Villa’s wait for a first Premier League victory this campaign.
Despite flashes of attacking intent from Villa, the newly promoted Sunderland side showed grit and resilience at the Stadium of Light, with goalkeeper heroics and disciplined defending frustrating the visitors. The home fans roared as their team denied one of the league’s elite managers another chance to finally celebrate three points.
Unai Emery, who has faced growing pressure after a string of disappointing results, cut a dejected figure on the touchline as Villa’s profligacy in front of goal once again proved costly. Sunderland, on the other hand, celebrated the draw like a victory, with their unbeaten home run still intact.
The result leaves Villa still searching for a breakthrough win, while Sunderland continue to grow in confidence as they adapt to life back in the top flight.
