Sunderland brought in plenty of new players to their squad, so I expected them to beat West Ham United, but I was surprised that Sunday beat West Ham United with a big goal difference. Sunderland have started their Premier League campaign in a good way, and if they continue like this, they will overcome relegation. West Ham United performed poorly last season, and they escaped relegation, but if West Ham United doesn't improve their performance this season, they will be relegated this season.
Sunderland has shown that they are not an underdog to be underrated. The showed great potency in counter attacking and the defence show some level of coordination. I didn't expect the result because West Ham was better with ball control. It is too early to predict which club will go on relegation because there are still more games to play this season. Sunderland should be taken seriously because they can come up with surprises.
Sunderland is a Premier League team with a rich history, so they possess a strong mentality. Despite their recent promotion, they are worthy of caution. In their first week, they already demonstrated their quality by defeating West Ham 3-0.
While it's still too early to gauge the strength of Premier League teams, we can already assess them. Based on Sunderland's strengths, I believe they can compete for a place in the mid-table as long as they maintain their consistency.
