Newly-promoted Swansea is still waiting to score its first goal in the Premier League after being held 0-0 by Sunderland on Saturday.

The Welsh club had the better chances, with striker Danny Graham heading wide from seven yards (meters) in the first half before forcing Sunderland goalkeeper Simon Mignolet to make a smart save after the break.

Scott Sinclair also hit the bar with a fierce drive in the 24th as Swansea settled for a second straight goalless draw at home following an opening 4-0 loss at Manchester City.

Asamoah Gyan might have snatched victory for Sunderland but was denied by 'keeper Michael Vorm.
