Sunderland 3 Norwich City 1: Highlights after Jack Clarke penalty plus Dan Neil and Trai Hume goals
and live on Freeview channel 276
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.

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.

Sunderland are keeping Norwich pinned back at the moment.
Neil has just sent a cross into the opposition’s box which was headed out by Duffy.
