Claudio ReynaÆs second start after a one-month injury break ended in another loss — 4-1 to Manchester United. The loss slips Sunderland closer to the relegation zone. Reyna had a few off-target shots. Late in the game, he almost scored directly from a corner kick — forcing a desperate save from keeper Fabian Barthez. Reyna received a first-half yellow card, for dissent, it seems. Sunderland hasnÆt won at Old Trafford since 1968.
