Jamie Redknapp, Niall Quinn and Alan Smith were in the studio as Middlesbrough beat Sunderland and West Ham won 1-0 against Bournemouth on Super Sunday.

The day started with Middlesbrough's 2-1 victory at the Stadium of Light against Sunderland before West Ham won their first Premier League game at the London Stadium thanks to a 1-0 win against Bournemouth.

Speaking after Slaven Bilic's side's win, Alan Smith said it could take West Ham some time to adapt to their new surroundings at the London Stadium, following a "flat" Premier League bow against Bournemouth.
