Sunderland had high hopes entering their game against Chelsea but could not keep up with the squad that Carlo Ancelotti has put together. While Sunderland did strike first they could not hold off Chelsea for long and fell victim thanks to goals from Michael Ballack, Frank Lampard, and Deco. It was a struggle for Sunderland to keep up most of the game but they did show some promise. Darren Bent scored for the second time in two games to lead the team. They have a lot to learn from the game and should be able to use those lessons to help gain a victory over Blackburn on Saturday August 22nd.
Blackburn was dominated by Manchester City on Tuesday and will need to come out with a much better effort against Sunderland. Just three minutes in Emmanuel Adebayor drove home a pass from Shaun-Wright Phillips and Man City did not look back from there.
