Sunderland and Manchester United draw

image
Louis van Gaal is still looking for his first Premier League victory as manager of Manchester United following his side's 1-1 draw with Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
Juan Mata put the visitors ahead against the run of play after 16 minutes before Jack Rodwell equalised with a bullet header on his home debut on the half-hour mark.
The back-three in Van Gaal's 3-5-2 formation was tested throughout by Sunderland's quick counter-attacking play and United's midfield were completely over-run by Rodwell, Cattermole and Larsson.
Ashley Young was booked once again for diving in the second half as he threw himself theatrically up into the air when challenged by Wes Brown.
Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie failed to find their form for United, who had to settle for a point, although Sunderland felt they could have won the game themselves.
