REACTION | MORE OF THE SAME FROM SUNDERLAND 🤬
It was supposed to be an opportunity for Sunderland to right the wrongs from the weeked, but instead it was a performance that compounded everything.

Martin, Brett and Bomber got together on the full time whistle to try to pick the bones out of that one.
Warning – they didn't find much to be positive about.
How has this gone SO wrong, so quickly?
