00:00 Outside the stadium of Lightweight, Sunderland have got back to winning ways with a 3-1 win

00:06 over Norwich City after three defeats in a row. It was important they got back to winning

00:11 ways today and they had to do it from coming behind, falling behind in the 23rd minute

00:15 after Norwich striker Hwang opened the scoring. That came after quite a lot of Sunderland

00:20 pressure. They started quite brightly with Patrick Roberts looking bright on the right

00:24 hand side but Norwich did take the lead and were quite content to sit quite deep and try

00:29 and hit Sunderland on the counter attack that Worsham appeals for offside when Norwich did

00:33 open the scoring. Pierre Ratcliffe, one of the Norwich players, was offside but he wasn't

00:37 interfering with play and Norwich did take the lead. But Sunderland reacted well to that

00:41 really, applied some more pressure on the Norwich goal and managed to draw a level around

00:46 eight minutes before half time when Tri Hulme's deflected effort went past the Norwich goalkeeper

00:51 George Long. And from there Sunderland managed to take the lead right before half time, a

00:55 really good time to score. It was a great run from Jack Clark who was excellent again

01:00 today on that left hand side. He beat a couple of Norwich players before setting up Dan Neal

01:04 who had made a late run into the box and then dinked the ball over the Norwich goalkeeper.

01:09 And Sunderland kind of picked up where they'd left off at the start of the second half,

01:12 applied some more pressure. Pierre Equa had a shot saved. Nasser Yeroussine came into

01:17 the Sunderland side today making his first senior start for the club and had a few bright

01:22 moments. His movement was quite good at times. He actually made a good run in the build up

01:27 to Dan Neal's goal which created space for the midfielder. You can tell that Sunderland

01:31 still trying to kind of work out how to play with him. Still a bit of a language barrier

01:35 there and hopefully that gets better in the weeks to come as he kind of gets used to his

01:40 new teammates. Norwich did pose a little bit of pressure towards the end of the second

01:44 half. As I said they were sitting quite deep and were trying to hit Sunderland on the counter

01:49 attack and had a few opportunities. There was one where they hit the post with a header

01:53 at the back post but Sunderland managed to kind of make the game safe around ten minutes

01:57 from time when another run from Clark into the Norwich box then resulted in a penalty

02:03 when Clark was fouled. He then stepped up and scored from the spot scoring his ninth

02:07 goal of the season. So a big win for Sunderland. They'll now go again in a week's time when

02:12 they will travel to Swansea for their next championship fixture.
