Sunderland 0-1 Charlton RECAP: Updates as Cats take on Addicks in League One
Key Events
- Sunderland XI: Hoffman; Winchester, Flanagan, Doyle, Cirkin; O’Nien, Neil; O’Brien, Pritchard, McGeady; Stewart.
- Sunderland subs: Burge, Evans, Alves, Dajaku, Gooch, Wright, Hume.
ANOTHER chance for Sunderland. O’Brien is set away and brilliantly turns his man but his shot is straight at the keeper. Winchester the fires wide.
Brilliant from Stewart to hit it into the path of Pritchard but the ball runs just too far ahead of him. Great forward play though from the big man.
Cirkin gives away a free-kick on the right hand side of Sunderland’s penalty area. It’s fired in but Hoffmann is equal to the header. Corner to Charlton
McGeady and Pritchard combine ell in the left-back position to get Sunderland out of trouble and on the front foot but O’Brien was pretty isolated. Did well to win the throw.
Sunderland then have the ball in the box with Stewart but it comes to nothing.
Dan Neil tries a through ball to Stewart but for once the pair don’t combine too well and it’s back to MacGillvray
