Looking at a number of key areas - from passing accuracy to the number of successful dribbles - we drill down into the data to see who the data suggests have been the Black Cats’ key men. Scroll down to find out:

40.48% of Charlie Wyke’s shots have hit the target - making him the sharpest shooter within Sunderland’s ranks. Interestingly, he also has the club’s highest xG total - standing at 10.23. Photo: FRANK REID 2020
3. SHOTS FROM OUTSIDE THE BOX
So who is Mr Ambitious? Perhaps unsurprisingly, Chris Maguire has tried more shots from range than anyone else this term - having taken aim from outside the box on 45 occasions. Photo: FRANK REID 2020
