'Karl Robinson being his usual self' - Sunderland fans are buzzing with Max Power's celebration in front of Oxford dugout

Oxford United took an early lead before Lynden Gooch levelled the scores following a superb assist by Jordan Jones.

And the second half was full of action with the visitors having a man sent off.

Then Aiden McGeady put the Black Cats ahead after a quick free-kick whilst the U’s had a player down – much to Karl Robinson’s dismay!

With Oxford chasing the game, Max Power broke away to hand Sunderland a 3-1 win at the Stadium of Light.

The Black Cats are on an impressive run having lost just once in 19 games in all competitions.

Indeed, Sunderland fans were very quick to react when the full-time whistle was blown!

Here, we take a look at what fans said about the result on social media:

@1973mackem: “Pleased with that performance + much needed #safc result - bring on #Posh which will define our season when we win that game #hawaythelads.”

@adam_theaker: “One way traffic second half. Brilliant second half and added bonus of Karl Robinson being his usual self. Get the tunes on #SAFC.”

@GregLittle89: “Haha the slowest break away goal ever scored in the game of football. An absolutely glorious watch to see Max Power gliding through the middle of the pitch at 2.5mph and slotting home #SAFC.”

@gabenoble12: “That celebration has made my day get one Karl Robinson #SAFC.”

@bazscott81: “Max Power celebrates infront of the Oxford bench, Things you love to see #safc”
