Southampton's record signing Sofiane Boufal scored on his first start for the club to pile more misery on David Moyes.

Southampton's £16m man condemned David Moyes' men to yet another defeat with a wonderful 25-yard-strike in the second half.

To add insult to injury for the Sunderland boss, Moyes was sent to the stands late for excessive protests as he felt Victor Anichebe had been fouled in the penalty area.

It was a match of few chances, but Jermain Defoe had the Black Cats' best chance but saw his effort saved by Alex McCarthy. 

Sunderland have now lost eight games in all competitions this season and the club's only two wins have come in the previous rounds of the EFL Cup.
