Jermain Defoe scored his 150th Premier League goal on Saturday as Sunderland climbed off the foot of the table with a 3-0 win over fellow strugglers Hull City, in a match held up by floodlight failure. The former England striker fired Sunderland ahead on 34 minutes at the inappropriately named Stadium of Light before Victor Anichebe struck twice in the second half to seal a second straight win for David Moyes's side.
The result moved the Black Cats above Swansea City, who drew 1-1 at Everton, but they are still three points from safety. Hull remain in 18th place and have lost seven of their last eight games under Mike Phelan.
