Sunderland got back to winning ways after a 1-0 victory at West Brom at the Hawthorns.

Mike Dodds’ side spent most of the first half camped inside their own half, yet were given a helping hand when Albion striker Brandon Thomas-Asante was sent off after receiving two bookings. Pierre Ekwah then opened the scoring just before the half-time whistle, putting the visitors in a commanding position.

Here’s how the game played out:
