David Moyes hopes Sunderland can build on their first league win of the season

Sunderland manager David Moyes is hopeful he can build on the team's first Premier League win of the campaign when they play Hull City on November 19.
Moyes has endured a frustrating start at the Stadium of Light and his team only managed to earn draws against Southampton and West Brom in their opening 10 league fixtures.
But a 2-1 victory at Bournemouth in their last match has moved the Black Cats level on points with Swansea at the foot of the table.
In a spirited performance on the south coast, the visitors recovered from going behind to an early Dan Gosling goal to level through Victor Anichebe before they break.
And 15 minutes after Steven Pienaar was dismissed, Sunderland defied the odds when Jermain Defoe secured victory form the penalty spot.
However, Moyes insists he will not be complacent ahead of Hull's forthcoming visit.
The 53-year-old said: "I'm very happy, it's our first win of the season; we'll not get carried away, we now need to go out and get number two.
"We got the result against all of the odds. There was a little bit of luck on our side and we've not had that in recent games.
"The players worked very, very hard and they did well. Bournemouth will be disappointed they didn't score from the chances they had but so were we with some of the opportunities we missed.
"We had to hang on after going down to 10 men and we played the best part of 30 minutes that way - and it did feel longer, but we kept at it and we got our goal.
"It's our first win; let's not get carried away, we've a lot of work to do to climb up the league.
"I'm really happy for the supporters, they travel in their numbers and they've stuck with us. That result is for them."
