Comments:

League position: 1st Along with Manchester City's defeat at Tottenham Hotspur, this win meant that Manchester United led the Premier League for the first time since the end of the 2012-13 season; so the first time in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era. Wayne Rooney's goal drew him level with Denis Law in United's all-time league scorers list (171). Only Bobby Charlton (199) and Jack Rowley (182) had scored more. Memphis Depay scored in the fourth minute of added time in the first half. Wayne Rooney scored after 39 seconds of the start of the second half. It ended his 11-game run in the Premier League without a goal.

Comments:

League position: 20th Sunderland have won just two of their 29 Premier League meetings with Manchester United, and one of the last 27. The Black Cats had now won just one of their last 15 Premier League away games (lost eight). They had yet to keep a clean sheet in any competition in 2015-16.
