“Unbelievable”- bris now have Sunderland game changer he have been looking for after magnificent display v Preston, forget Romaine Mundle
Here’s how Sunderland’s players performed in their match against Preston:
6 Patterson: Sunderland only managed two shots on target, and Riis’ goal was a powerful strike into the bottom corner.
7 Hume: Pushed forward from right-back, trying to drive the team on. Delivered a good cross for Isidor, though the striker missed a key opportunity in the first half.
7 Mepham: Kept busy by Riis, who relished the physical contest with him. Made some key interceptions and defended solidly.
7 O’Nien: Produced an excellent early block to deny Potts. Sunderland’s defence struggled during the first 20 minutes of the second half.
6 Cirkin: Got forward well to support Watson whenever possible. His teasing first-half cross deserved a better finish.
5 Roberts: Had a quiet game and struggled to make an impact.
5 Neil: Was tidy in possession but didn’t control the tempo of the match as he would have liked.
6 Bellingham: Showed promise with some early touches and runs, but faded as the game went on. He could benefit from a rest.
6 Watson: Had a few bright moments, but understandably looked rusty after a long absence. Managed a solid hour on the pitch.
6 Mayenda: Took a selfish shot in the first half when he could have set up Bellingham for an easy tap-in. Looked dangerous when running at the Preston defence, but the decision to play two up front didn’t yield results.
5 Isidor: A frustrating night for the striker, who missed a crucial chance in the first half.
Substitutes:
7 Mundle (for Watson, 59): Made a strong impact from the bench, looking a real threat. Scored the equaliser and pushed for a winner.
7 Rigg (for Mayenda, 59): Provided fresh energy for Sunderland, even though they conceded shortly after the changes.
Subs not used: Moore, Browne, Seelt, Aleksic, Hjelde, Anderson, Jones.
PRESTON:
Woodman 6; Porteous 7, Gibson 7, Hughes 7, Kesler-Hayden 6 (Frokjaer, 82), Thordarson 7 (Whiteman, 74), Ledson 6 (c), Meghoma 7 (Lindsay, 83), Potts 6, Greenwood 6 (Keane, 64), Riis 7.
Subs not used: Cornell, Bauer, Lindsay, Brady, Carroll, Evans.
Man of the Match: Mundle. His impact from the bench was crucial—scoring a late equaliser and creating a significant threat. Having Mundle or Watson as game-changers off the bench could be vital for Sunderland in the remaining fixtures and potential play-offs.
