The brilliant pictures that Sunderland fans will love from the big win at Portsmouth

It’s a great time to be a Sunderland supporter at the moment!

Eight games unbeaten in all competitions, a new billionaire owner at the helm and a Wembley final just around the corner – what could be better?

And the feel-good factor was extended on Tuesday evening as the Black Cats sealed a crucial win at Portsmouth in League One.

It was a comfortable enough evening for the Wearsiders, who were in control throughout.

Goals from Charlie Wyke and Jordan Jones were enough for Sunderland as they claimed a first win at Fratton Park since 1997 – while simultaneously keeping the pressure on the top two in the division.

And there were a whole host of excellent moments in the clash, which were captured by the photographers at the game.
