Stuani put Aitor Karanka&rsquo;s Boro ahead with a glorious 25-yard strike in the 13th minute at the Stadium of Light before finishing off a neat team move on the cusp of half time. Sunderland replied through Patrick van Aanholt in the 71st minute, but Boro, promoted from the Championship in May, prevailed to record their first top-flight win over the Black Cats in over 10 years.
Sunderland have not won a league game in August in six years and having lost 2-1 at Man City on opening day, they are still awaiting a first win under David Moyes.
