Stoke City 1-0 Sunderland: Instant reaction

James Copley reviews Sunderland's late defeat to Stoke City

Transcript

00:00Hello, a very disappointed James Copley here from the Bet365 Stadium. Sunderland have just

00:05conceded a really, really late goal to Stoke City and Tom Cannon who got the winner in

00:12the 92nd minute. Sunderland probably should have had a penalty in the first half after

00:17Berger's foul on Chris Mettmann in the box. Somehow the linesmen and the referee didn't

00:21see it. It was a clear, clear shirt pull but Stoke City had chances in the first half.

00:25Anthony Patterson made a couple of really good saves. Victor Johansson too in the opposite

00:29net I think proved why he's one of the Championship's best keepers with a couple of fantastic stops.

00:36Sunderland hit the post a couple of times in the game. Adil Al-Shish looked really bright.

00:39He put the ball in in the second half for Eliza Mayenda who with the goal gaping headed

00:44wide when it was probably easier to score. That's two big chances missed in a couple

00:49of games now. But the goal, Stoke City's goal comes from a mistake by Luke O'Neill and then

00:54Chris Mettmann fails to deal with it. Tom Cannon then buries the ball. I thought a point

00:58would have been a fair result on the day. Perhaps Sunderland just edged it but Sunderland

01:02will feel very, very unlucky. I thought Adil Al-Shish was probably Sunderland's standout

01:06performer today alongside Anthony Patterson but Sunderland lose at the Bet365 Stadium.

01:13Ryan Shaw crosses his first game in charge as interim manager. It's a real disappointing

01:17one. A tough one to swallow for Sunderland fans, for Sunderland staff and the manager

01:22Regis Lebrun. We'll have full analysis over at the Sunderland Echo website and we'll also

01:26have an On The Whistle video tomorrow or Monday morning for you. Thanks for watching

01:31and I'm a very, very disappointed James Copley from the Bet365 Stadium.
