Sunderland supporters have some of the best travelling fans in the division - but they have to put the miles in to watch their team.

Sunderland’s last game before the break for the Qatar World Cup saw Tony Mowbray’s side run-out 2-1 winners away at St Andrew’s with goals from Ellis Simms and Amad Diallo sealing the win.
