Lynden Gooch reveals what REALLY happened as he celebrated Sunderland's goal at Ipswich
The attacking midfielder slotted home from inside the area to snatch a point at Portman Road, while taking his tally to two goals in two games this season.

The 23-year-old, however, has clarified that he did indeed thank the Reading loanee after netting – with the clip ending before he went over to his attacking partner.
In a response to a fan on Twitter, Gooch said: “If you actually watched the game... I turned back round and thanked him for setting the goal up.”
