Liverpool: A terrific second-half strike from Sebastian Larsson secured a point for Sunderland after Kenny Dalglish's side had earlier taken the lead through Luis Suarez - who missed a penalty early on.
It was definitely a tale of two halves at Anfield on Saturday afternoon, the hosts played majestically in the first period, with the likes of Downing and Adam impressing with every moment.
Downing hit the bar from 20 yards prior to half-time, and the Reds were left to rue that moment when a resurgent Sunderland got their act together in the second, picked up the pace in the early moments and got what they deserved.
Seb Larsson's goal certainly worth a point in Merseyside for the North East outfit.
Queens Park Rangers' 15-year wait for a return to English football's top flight ended in heavy defeat on Saturday as Bolton Wanderers came away with a 4-0 win at Loftus Road. Bolton triumphed thanks to goals from Gary Cahill, Ivan Klasnic and Fabrice Muamba in addition to a Danny Gabbidon own goal.
Fellow Premier League new boys Norwich City were more successful against perennial relegation strugglers Wigan Athletic, claiming a 1-1 draw at the DW Stadium.
Alex McLeish's reign as Aston Villa manager began in unremarkable fashion after a 0-0 draw with Fulham at Craven Cottage. In the last afternoon fixture, Blackburn Rovers slumped to 2-1 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers despite taking the lead at Ewood Park. Mauro Formica grabbed his first Rovers goal to break the deadlock after good work by Jason Roberts, but Wolves replied within minutes thanks to Steven Fletcher.
