Régis Le Bris looked concerned. “We can feel the danger,” said Sunderland’s manager last week as he suggested a Wolves renaissance could be just round the corner. If so, that Old Gold revival suffered a damaging delay on an afternoon when Le Bris’s fears proved groundless as Sunderland registered their fourth Premier League win in eight games since promotion. It leaves them with 14 points and surely set fair for survival.
The horizon seems considerably cloudier for a Wolves team without a win and stuck to the bottom of the table on just two points. If their head coach, Vítor Pereira, did not sense peril before kick-off his security of tenure now appears deep in the danger zone.
