    The South Pacific nation of Vanuatu have made history by qualifying for their first ever Fifa tournament.

    They came from 2-1 down to beat Solomon Islands in injury-time and reach next year's Fifa Under-20 World Cup in South Korea.

    Frederick Massing was the hero for the home side, scoring a 94th-minute winner to trigger celebrations at a packed Port Vila stadium.

    Vanuatu, which has a population of 252,000, around the same as Stoke-on-Trent, is ranked 179th in Fifa's standings.

    Sunderland's bad startpublished at 08:17 BST 13 September 2016

    Football

    If you are a Sunderland fan then turn away now.

    Here are some quite frankly damning stats:

    • This is the sixth consecutive Premier League season that Sunderland have failed to win any of their opening four games in that campaign.
    • Sunderland haven't won any of their last 23 Premier League matches contested in either August or September (Won 0 Drawn 9 Loss 14).

    But if you are an Evertonian then you can be quietly confident about this season:

    • Ronald Koeman is the first Everton manager since Thomas McIntosh in 1919 to win his first two competitive away games in charge of the club.
    • This is only the second time in Premier League history that Everton have won as many as 10 points in their opening four games of a season - the other was in 2006-07 when they finished sixth.

    Everton moved up to third in the table and maintained their unbeaten start to the season as they beat Sunderland 3-0.

    Romelu Lukaku scored his first goal since March and 11-minutes later had completed a hat-trick. A fantasy football manager's dream.

    But it was another bad day at the office for David Moyes. His is yet to win with the Black Cats and his side have taken just one point from their opening four games.
