Recently promoted Boro has opened up their account in the Premier League with an absolute stunner against Sunderland. Uruguayan striker Cristhian Stuani found himself with space amidst a bumbling Sunderland defense, and lifted the ball gracefully but with pace into the far upper corner of the net. The Sunderland keeper was left devastated. (On a side note: Middlebrough's recently-acquired American keeper Brad Guzan was likely pleased over at the other end of the field.) People are already talking about "goal of the year" and blah blah blah, but let's just say it's early in the season. Still, though. What a stunner.
