MEMPHIS DEPAY scored his first ever Premier League goal and Wayne Rooney added his first of the season as Manchester United beat Sunderland 3-0 to go top of the standings Saturday.

    Depay made the breakthrough in first-half stoppage time, tapping home after Daley Blind’s fine pass was volleyed across goal by Mata, with Rooney and Mata finishing the job in the second half.

    Rooney’s goal, set up by Anthony Martial, was his first in the league since April and saw him draw level with Old Trafford great Denis Law on 171 league goals.

    Victory took United a point above City, which suffered a 4-1 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur.

    Spurs climbed to fifth place in the table and is unbeaten in five games since losing 1-0 at United on the season’s opening day.

    West Ham could have gone level on points with City, but despite drawing 2-2 at home to Norwich City, they remain in third place.

    Arsenal climbed to fourth after beating Leicester City 5-2.
