Sunderland slipped to a second league defeat of the season with a shock 2-1 home defeat against MK Dons on Saturday afternoon – and fans have been quick to react on social media.

The Black Cats took an early lead through a deflected effort from captain Max Power, but were pegged back almost immediately by a Cameron Jerome header.

The visitors then edged ahead with a Scott Fraser penalty shortly after the interval, and despite a barrage of late pressure from Phil Parkinson’s men – including a golden opportunity for Will Grigg – were able to hang on for the win.

The result leaves Sunderland sixth in the League One table, four points behind leaders Peterborough with a game in hand.

Here's how supporters reacted to the disappointing result on Twitter:

@zCeadith tweeted: “Speechless. Words can’t describe the emotion we are all feeling right now. Get that man out of our club, shocking performance, plenty of missed chances. Parky Out.”

@nicholaswilso tweeted: “Dross”.

@kevsol tweeted: “Last week we lost against a side towards the bottom of League 2: a side that hadn't won a game (in any competition this season). This week, we've lost at home again - this time to a side that hadn't won away from home since September 2019. Enough is enough. Sack him ffs!!!!”

@safclarry tweeted: “It’s time for Jurassic Parkinson to go extinct”.

@BES_SAFC tweeted: “He has to go”.

@sarahpatta_ tweeted: “Parkinson OUT. Not good enough.”

@Camer0nJohnson tweeted: “Your next tweet better be a club statement like”.
