“It wasn’t ideal losing Ellis, he brings us a physicality and he's key at defending set pieces, as well.”

John Terry tweets about Sunderland

Ex-England and Chelsea captain John Terry tweeted about Sunderland in the aftermath of the win against Reading after the Black Cats scored an early contender for goal of the season.

It started with Patterson in goal, who knocked it to Luke O’Nien. The ball then came to Corry Evans in the middle, who laid it off to Lynden Gooch. The American passed the ball up the line to Dan Neil.

The midfielder quickly knocked it to Patrick Roberts, who beautifully helped the ball on its way to midfield maestro Alex Pritchard who sent Neil through down the right-hand side.

Neil bent a superb cross-come-pass to Jack Clarke in the box, who took a touch and finished superbly. All in all the goal took 18 seconds for Sunderland to score, with eight passes and eight different players involved.

After the goal, Terry tweeted: “What a goal this is.”

However, Schumacher, 38, has impressed at Argyle in League One and is said to be a “top contender” for the Terriers post.
