    Captain Cullen scores Burnley's first goal back in the Premier League to help beat Sunderland

    We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Burnley and Sunderland.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Burnley fans

    Graham: Burnley played much better football in last week's defeat but showed the resilience required to survive in the Premier League. Two excellent goals displayed our resolve, and emphasised that we can make Turf Moor a fortress. That there are players still to come into the team and contribute makes me optimistic.

    Reg: Burnley got away with one... defending was below Premier League standard, especially in the first half.

    Gareth: Huge result that should give us some confidence for the tough-looking fixtures to come. Excellent game management after we got the first goal, showing organisation and resilience that was horribly lacking in our last season at this level. Promising signs.

    Sunderland fans

    Jeff: Sunderland always flatter to deceive - maybe it was the 'unknown' factor with the Hammers, but Burnley know how to beat us.

    Clive: I thought beforehand this would be a trickier test than last week. Losing Ballard early on didn't help. Huff and puff seemed to be the display.

    John: Last week, everything clicked. This week, nothing clicked.
