Comments:

League position: 2nd At the end of the first day of 2015, Manchester City trailed leaders Chelsea on alphabetical order only. It was the first time in Premier League history that the top two had identical records (Pl 20 W 14 D 4 L 2 F 44 A 19 Pts 46). A day after extending his loan deal from New York City FC, Frank Lampard's winner was his 176th goal in the Premier League. He therefore went past Thierry Henry to move into fourth place in the all-time highest scorers list behind Alan Shearer, Andy Cole and Wayne Rooney. Frank Lampard has now scored four goals as a substitute in his last 14 Premier League appearances. He had scored only three goals as a substitute in his preceding 578 Premier League outings.

Comments:

League position: 14th Sunderland had kept clean sheets in all of their four previous away games in the Premier League.
