Premier League standings after losing to Bournemouth
on the weekend.
Sunderland manager Dick Advocaat has issued an apology to
the club's supporters following Saturday's disappointing
Premier League defeat to newly-promoted Bournemouth.
Jermain Defoe squandered two first-half chances, Jeremain
Lens had a goal incorrectly ruled out for offside, while Younes
Kaboul was sent off with 15 minutes remaining as Sunderland
were beaten 2-0 at Vitality Stadium.
Sunderland's fourth defeat of the season saw the Tyneside
strugglers slip to the bottom of the table with just two points
from six matches, only adrift of rivals Newcastle United on goal
difference, and Advocaat feels for the fans.
"We have to fight and have to work," said Advocaat, whose
Sunderland host Manchester City in the League Cup on
Tuesday.
"Last Sunday [against Tottenham] I thought we were going in
the right direction against a good side but this was three steps
back.
"For the fans it is a shame. We all are well-paid and they give a
lot of money to see this game. I feel really sorry for them,
honestly, and I really mean that.
"I will do everything I can for this club, for them, because they
are great fans. And I said that to the players as well because we
should be ashamed of what we did today. I told them that I will
look in the mirror but you have to do it as well.
"Hopefully they will come back with an answer."
