Sunderland thrash Sheffield Wednesday at the Stadium of Light to move into the Championship’s top two after two matches.
Sunderland thrashed Sheffield Wednesday at the Stadium of Light to move into the Championship’s top two after the first two matches of the season.
Patrick Roberts’ deep free-kick found Cirkin unmarked at the back post, with a screen of Sunderland players protecting his run from the Wednesday defence, and the left-back headed precisely past Owls goalkeeper James Beadle. The away side’s misery was compounded almost immediately, when Svante Ingelsson looked to have got one back, but the offside flag was raised this time for offside against Djeidi Gassama in the build-up.Beadle produced a brilliant save to keep out Rigg’s deflected shot deep into first-half stoppage time and keep Wednesday in the game going into half-time.
Michael Smith’s blazed effort in stoppage time summed up the visitors’ second-half performance as Sunderland recorded their second clean sheet from their opening two games. He will now need to pick his players up for a big Yorkshire derby against Leeds United at Hillsborough on Friday.All times UK. Tables are subject to change.
