The Northern Irish international has struggled for form since his arrival on Wearside, but put in an impressive cameo at the International Stadium as he netted the Black Cats’ second goal before laying on the third for Josh Scowen.
And while refusing to get too excited, Sunderland supporters are excited at the prospect of a fully-firing Grigg leading the line this season.

@Liam9517 added: “If Grigg can get himself motivated and shows the hunger then he can play a big part this season and hoping Jack Diamond is given a chance to shine this season “
@RamseySAFC said: “If Grigg plays like this in the league, it's like a new signing for us. Give that man the ball at his feet and look what he can do with it”
@ConnorMMedia posted: “Is Will Grigg actually playing well? Probably too early to say he looks sharper but has upped the tempo a bit more than Wyke”
