Sunderland 0 Fulham 1
Fulham Kasami 52'
Paolo Di Canio's summer revolution fell flat as Pajtim Kasami headed a second-half winner to snatch three points for Fulham.

West Brom 0 Southampton 1
Southampton Lambert (pen) 90'
A late penalty from man-of-the-moment Rickie Lambert ensured Southampton's Premier League season got off to a winning start, at the Hawthorns. Lambert, who headed the winning goal in midweek in a 3-2 victory over Scotland with the first touch of his England debut, coolly dispatched the spot-kick.
