Sunderland 2 Swansea 0: Sessegnon wonder goal keeps Black Cats purring

Stephane Sessegnon and Craig Gardner brought Swansea back down to earth as Sunderland returned to winning ways.

The Benin international fired the
Black Cats ahead in stunning fashion with 14 minutes gone, and
substitute Gardner made sure of the three points with an equally adept
finish five minutes from time.

Martin O'Neill's men were forced to
defend for long periods, particularly before the break, as the visitors
attempted to build on last weekend's Barclays Premier League victory
over Arsenal.
