Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini says it is important his side
went into the international break with a win following a mixed run of
results.
City had won one of their previous six matches in all competitions but
beat Sunderland
with a first clean sheet this season to go second in the table.
"It was important to finish before the international break with this victory," Mancini said after his side won 3-0.
"Every game is difficult in this moment but we're happy for a clean sheet."
Since beating QPR 3-1 on 1 September, City had only taken maximum points from one of their three top-flight games.
They lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League and Aston Villa in the Capital One Cup, before drawing with Borussia Dortmund.
"Maybe we made some mistakes but I'm happy because our performance in general was really good," Mancini said.
"We are disappointed defensively this season but we are looking strong now. Since the international break we have played well."
Aleksandar Kolarov opened the scoring with an early free-kick and substitute Sergio Aguero made it two with a first-time finish.
James Milner's deflected free-kick sealed the points as City returned to the sort of form that helped them win the league last season.
