City held to goalless draw at Sunderland to begin 2026](https://www.mancity.com/news/mens/sunderland-away-premier-league-january-2026-match-report-63902885)
City threw everything at the high-flying hosts in a typical Premier League battle but couldn’t force a winner.
Erling Haaland, Josko Gvardiol and Savinho all had major chances, but Robin Roefs stood firm between the posts for Sunderland.
Regis Le Bris’ team also had their own openings, with Gianluigi Donnarumma and a determined City defence ensuring they didn’t take more than a point.
The result marks our first goalless draw of the 2025/26 campaign and leaves us four points back from leaders Arsenal at the halfway point.
