00:00A Premier League club again, a Premier League stadium again, after eight years away, Sunderland are back among the elite of English football, they have seen the light.
00:30Well, they've waited a while to make a Premier League noise like that.
01:00A stadium that could not be more up for it if it tried.
01:07So today, Sunderland are back in the Premier League with a whole new look, how are they going to fare, Michael?
01:15Well, it's the new look side I talked about, it's how quickly the new players can gel, that's what the pre-season's all about.
01:22And obviously taking on board what Reggie Lebris wants from his players in a defensive aspect and in an attacking sense,
01:28and they've got it all to do in the first game of the Premier League against the West Ham side.
01:33That we know, established in the Premier League, opening days tend to do very well with newly promoted teams,
01:39so we've got a great game in our hands today, Ian.
01:43Here's Max Tillman at the heart of West Ham's defence.
01:49From the Wolves, team-mate of Diogo Jota.
01:52I don't know if Bowen actually flicking that on, but it'll be the field to dominate the game, Ian.
02:03Here's Bowen.
02:05Really good work from Jarrah Bowen, advancing superbly, and Roos is forced into the safe.
02:11James Ward, trying to float it in, pinched away by Roos, it is Juif.
02:21For his West Ham debut and a player who...
02:24Hume has Chemsdine-Talby available, linking up here with record signing Diara.
02:35And Diara is on to it!
02:37That's a brilliant save from Hermansen.
02:39It could have been a wonderful return to the Premier League.
02:43West Ham were twice ahead, but a very late equaliser.
02:48From Fabio Berrini for Sunderland.
02:51Wan-Bissaka for Bowen, took it well, and set up full crew.
02:56Manic Juice arriving, and that's some stop.
02:59Ballard and his keeper were there.
03:02I think he'll be around for a while.
03:09Trahume.
03:14That's a pass for Mayenda, and he's going to get there just...
03:19Oh, Bathingra rushing in, unable to steer it goalwards.
03:24Juif.
03:32Juif looking for Bowen, nearly.
03:37Off at Anderlecht, off at the London Stadium a few years back.
03:42Came on as a sub in Europe.
03:45Ballard now for Diara.
03:47Will there be an opening here the week Guido Rodriguez got back to send it behind?
03:59The ref is going long to Mayenda, Adingra.
04:07It's Diara!
04:09But it was always rising.
04:16Urging this new look team on.
04:25Odoretti.
04:28Floating it in towards Mayenda.
04:29And it's cropped in.
04:35The lights are Mayenda.
04:39Sunderland are back in the mid-time, and they mean business.
04:45A premium eagle over eight years in the waiting.
04:51What magnificent scenes we're seeing here at the Stadium of Light.
04:58Mayenda, the man, that has rolled the deadlock.
05:03There he is celebrating.
05:05I said he had a quiet game, you know, because he's been so tightly marked.
05:09He's been very isolated, but what he has done is always stayed in contact with the game here.
05:14And you can see, he just pulls off Kilman under a grid.
05:18And he gives himself enough space so he can then go and attack the ball with two paces.
05:29Just listen to this place now.
05:31What's all where Tollby was heading there?
05:34Rodriguez trying to keep this alive for West Ham.
05:37It's come to Paqueta.
05:40Come on for long.
05:44I think what you saw from West Ham's build-up in that last little attack.
05:47It was much cleaner, it was crisp, but there was more intent about it.
05:52Bowen.
05:53To the bow.
05:55He's going to deliver.
06:00Sunderland sort themselves out.
06:04Wilson has a habit of scoring on his debut.
06:06More on that at a moment, because...
06:08Goodman...
06:09He's giving away a free-kick.
06:12And will be shown a yellow card as he found himself imbothered there.
06:17Inside this arena.
06:20Are hoping they do.
06:25Wasted him, but comfortable for Hermansen.
06:30Here it comes from Hulme.
06:32And Manson gets something on it.
06:33It's retrieved by Simon Odinger.
06:39Renildo.
06:41Odinger.
06:43Time to deliver.
06:44It's a perfect cross.
06:47It's a perfect header.
06:49But then it all evades from this man.
06:52Dan Ballard.
06:54Scoring with a memorable header at the Stadium of Light.
07:02Again, either side of summer.
07:06Sunderland are back living the Premier League dream.
07:10Some of the fans around us here.
07:16And they are pinching themselves.
07:18They're in disbelief.
07:19That's Sunderland's performance here.
07:222-0 up.
07:22Another magnificent header.
07:23It's Jarrah Bowen to whip this corner in.
07:30A piece away from Ruff.
07:34It's been deflected.
07:37Bowen's just peeled off to get the glancing head.
07:39And it hits Socek.
07:43Aguera.
07:44Paqueta.
07:48Bowen looking to latch onto that.
07:52Socek did.
07:53It's been deflected by Ruffs.
07:56Really.
07:59Time is not on their side.
08:03Irving pings it in.
08:04What a terrific save for Robin Ruffs.
08:09A wonderful reaction from Sunderland's new goalkeeper.
08:15The good news for West Ham is that as it stands,
08:18there will be seven minutes added on.
08:20But they've got to score first to give themselves minor hope.
08:32Away by guess who?
08:33Ballard.
08:35Ballard.
08:39Wan-Bissaka's cross for Krug's header.
08:42Comfortable that time for Ruff.
08:43Sam offers something here.
08:45Forketa takes the corner.
08:49James Dean Tarby, not for the first time.
08:54Looks like he's going to get a race away.
08:57Isidore.
08:58Isidore.
08:59Isidore.
09:04Isidore.
09:05An opening day.
09:16Statement of intent.
09:19Sunderland are back among the elite in English football.
09:23At this time, they want to make their presence felt.
09:35Another player, Isidore, who had a fantastic season in the championship.
09:40He's waiting his turn today because Mayende has started.
09:43Isidore's come on.
09:44This is the transition from a corner from West Ham to one end of the field.
09:47And I love the way he's taken this shot so quickly because what he's done,
09:53he's used a defender in Duke there just to blindside Hermansen.
09:57And then they find the side netting again on Vance.
10:00Just want to hear that whistle.
10:07Welcome to our Premier League party on West Ham.
10:13Not bad for starters.
10:15How about absolutely brilliant?
10:17Absolutely breathtaking.
10:21Sunderland announced a return to the Premier League in style.
10:27Dan Ballard, scorer of a big goal here at the end of last season.
