Sunderland 3 Norwich City 1: Highlights after Jack Clarke penalty plus Dan Neil and Trai Hume goals
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
Sunderland got back to winning ways with a 3-1 win over Norwich City at the Stadium of Light.
The Black Cats fell a goal down in the 23rd minute when Hwang Ui-jo opened the scoring despite appeals for offside in the build-up. Sunderland reacted well, though, and took the lead before half-time after goals from Trai Hume and Dan Neil.
Jack Clarke then secured the win when he was fouled by Kenny McLean in the Norwich box, before converting the subsequent penalty.

Pritchard was also booked moments earlier for a foul.

3-1!

Hernandez broke down the right again there but Huggins charged back to stop the Norwich man inside the box.

Patterson had to be alert again there to palm away Hernandez’s low cross from the right.
Looks like Norwich are about to make some more changes.

The forward couldn’t get a clean shot at goal and Long was able to hold the effort.

Ekwah has played some excellent crossfield passes today and forced another save from Long there with a shot from distance.
Moments later Ui-jo fired a speculative effort over the bar for Norwich.
