Coventry, out of the drop zone after beating Sunderland 3-1
Sakamoto, Awoniyi and Rudoni seal the win; Sunderland, bottom with five points, have not won in the league since 30 August.
Frank Lampard's Coventry City beat Sunderland 3-1 this Saturday in matchday nine of the Premier League and, for now, climb out of the relegation places. After defeats to Tottenham and Fulham, the side responded with a dominant first half: Tatsuhiro Sakamoto opened the scoring with a strike from distance, Taiwo Awoniyi doubled the lead before the break with a solo run and Jack Rudoni made it three straight after the restart.
Enzo Le Fee pulled one back for Sunderland, who had qualified midweek for the League Cup quarter-finals. According to Mundo Deportivo, playing three competitions at once is starting to take its toll on the Black Cats, who are bottom with five points. Coventry have nine.
