London, Feb 2 (DPA) Sunderland's poor form continued in a goalless draw at home with Stoke City in Monday's only English Premier League match.After a promising start to the season, Steve Bruce's side have now gone 11 matches without a win in the league. The result leaves them languishing in 13th place on 24 points, two points behind their opponents on Monday in 12th.
With the respective form of both sides - Stoke themselves have won only one match from their last nine away from home - a draw was always a possibility, but the visitors will nevertheless feel they had the better chances and should have taken all three points.
