Sunderland fans have been quick to react as Régis Le Bris’ side went five points clear at the top of the Championship after a 2-0 win against Oxford United at the Stadium of Light.

Sunderland overcame a pre-match injury blow to produce one of their best performances of the season and further increase their gap at the top of the table.

Anthony Patterson was a surprise absentee from the line-up due to injury excellent goals either side of half-time from Jobe Bellingham and Wilson Isidor secured the points.

Here, we take a look at how Sunderland fans reacted to the 2-0 win against Oxford United at the Stadium of Light in the Championship on Saturday afternoon:

David Keeler said: “That was as comfortable as it gets,” Hannah Brown added: “Only downside is Wilson’s injury.”

Joe Hughes said: “Most comfortable game of the season, dominate from the start. Great showing.”

Brian Halliday explained: “Excellent outstanding performance,” as Graham said: “Most comfortable game I’ve watched in a long time. Walk in the park.”

Lukas said: “I expected more from Oxford to be honest. Ended up like a training match,” Chazz added: “Jobe is fast becoming Premiership class.”

Amad Mackem wrote on social media: “Impressed with Moore. Not much to do but just comes across more intelligent in his play, and obviously the distribution was 100x better. No 5+ instances of giving the ball directly back to the opposition from unpressured situations. Bigger tests ahead, but I'd keep him in.”
