Sunderland remain three points above the Premier League drop zone after their 10 men failed to avoid a 1-0 defeat at Manchester City on Sunday.

Micah Richards' second-half header proved enough, with goalkeeper Marton Fulop preventing City increasing their advantage with a string of fine saves near the end in addition to a Robinho penalty stop.
