Aston Villa are still on the hunt for their first Premier League win of the season after being held to a 1-1 draw by 10-man Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
After a quiet opening 30 minutes with few clear-cut chances for either side, the Black Cats had Reinildo Mandava sent off for kicking out at Matty Cash.
Although Sunderland put in a resilient showing after the break, Villa eventually capitalised on their extra man in the 67th minute when Cash scored their first league goal of the season with a stunning strike from distance.
However, their lead was short-lived as Wilson Isidor equalised eight minutes later to ensure Villa remain winless after five league games.
Newcastle United were held to a 0-0 draw at Bournemouth in the Premier League on Sunday in a dull game of few chances as the visitors remain winless on the road.
Although Newcastle kept a third straight clean sheet on the road, it was also a third consecutive goalless draw that left Eddie Howe's side 13th in the standings with six points while Bournemouth moved provisionally up to third on 10.
Howe made several changes to his line-up in search of his first league win against his former side, but despite a lively start from both teams, the first half lost momentum with injury stoppages and ended with few clear chances.
Newcastle had a penalty appeal waved away when Nick Woltemade had his shirt tugged, and Justin Kluivert nearly won it for Bournemouth with a free kick in added time, only for Nick Pope make a fine save.
