Sunderland secured their place in the last eight of the Carabao Cup with a 3-2 win over Brentford.
Head coach Régis Le Bris made eleven changes for the game, but saw his young side produce an excellent spell of counterattacking football to seal the win.
Here’s how we rated all of the Black Cats involved on the night...
5. LB - Dayann Methalie
Had a strong second half defensively in which he was put under a lot of pressure but gave very little up to his opposition. 7 | Sunderland Echo, Chris Fryatt
6. CM - Jules Ahoka
Continues to produce performances that belie his lack of senior experience. Played a big part in the first goal and was tidy throughout. 7 | Getty Images
7. CM - Habib Diarra
Played in a slightly deeper role to allow Talbi to play off the main striker. That definitely limited his influence but he was tidy and tenacious. 7
8. RW - Jocelin Ta Bi
Took him a little while to get him into the game but then made some statement. Heavily involved in all three goals, showing real quality for each one and particularly the third which was a wicked cross. Disciplined in the second and helped his team out by winning a lot of fouls. 9
