'Absolutely immense today!' Sunderland trio earn praise as promotion rivals Luton and Barnsley slip up

George Honeyman grabbed what could prove a pivotal goal in the League One promotion race, as the Black Cats came from behind to snatch a 2-1 win at Spotland Stadium.

The result was even more significant as both Luton and Barnsley dropped points in the third tier, with the former drawing 2-2 with Blackpool and the Tykes losing 3-1 at Burton.

It means Sunderland are now level on points with second-place Barnsley, with two games in hand, ahead of Tuesday's home clash with Burton.

And Black Cats supporters were quick to react to the result on social media - dishing out particular praise to Sunderland trio Luke O'Nien, Dylan McGeouch and Charle Wyke - who netted Sunderland's opener.

Here are some of the responses.

@Erichyun0775: Terrific win. We normally draw those games, and even better that Luton and Barnsley drop points. Thought McGeouch and Wyke were immense again. Oviedo needs to start next game. Morgan power Grigg awful #SAFC
