Kante has grown while he has been away
3 goals in 4 for a defensive midfielder 

Click on the video below and go to 1:52 and see what you think.

Kantes a unit eh

Was reading the o/s report
The ball hit Oyedade on the arm which was by his side when he was on the goal line. He’d only just come on
The ref sent Fearon off by mistake 
Havent seen the other player but Fearon has a VERY distinctive hairstyle 
 

So, the ref sent off the wrong player?

What has become of Daniel Cummings? Is he injured?

We were in the ascendancy until the ref decided to make it about him. Fearon got sent off because the ball ricocheted into another player’s arm from close range while by its side. We still hit the bar after that. Things are looking up.

Sunderland 2 West Ham 4
Kante Adeile Landers(2)
Fearon sent off after 89mins

Doh with the traumatic Chelsea game, I completely forgot about the U21s. Lost away at Man City 3-1 Friday night.
Started with 2 loses like the seniors, but goal difference is beter and it was against the Champions and the Cup holders, so things should improve.

Well at least we gave the new youngster Antonio valuable game time on his debut, so all good for building experience in these kind of games you like to see from a young Striker.

Should have played Marshall.

Antonio starting.

1-0 down to Forest. Apparently a mistake from Kante.

Antonio looks like a player who shattered his leg in a car crash. 

Kante with a shocking gift there for them to score..
