A hard-working, battling performance from the Black Cats saw youngster Joel Asoro grab his first goal for the club to give supporters hope they can avoid the drop.

Chris Coleman played a young side including Ethan Robson and a strike pairing of Asoro and Josh Maja, and they repaid their boss in style.

@JackyLad27: Big Result, Lucky to have a manager like Coleman imagine what he could do with Money, could have done with him a few year ago #SAFC

@JClay05: HUGE result! And all the results at the bottom of the table went our way for once. Keep throwing the youngsters out there #SAFC

@Jonosafc: Fantastic win today, we have some fantastic youth players who have shown up many of the seniors today.

@daveymck: Great win for #safc off the bottom, who says can’t win anything with kids. Is what we need desire and effort from players wanting to prove themselves. #EFL

@DogLayer: All this talk of Rodwell this week, man with the heart of a pea on 70 grand a week, bleeding the club dry so isn’t it great to see a young academy lad, Joel Asoro, run his heart out for the cause & get the winner? #safc
