The Black Cats built on last weekend’s comprehensive victory over Doncaster Rovers with another assured display this afternoon.

Grant Leadbitter opened the scoring early on with a strike from distance before Lyndon Gooch doubled the lead with an eye-catching effort of his own.

Albion were reduced to 10 men shortly after the interval when Josh Earl saw red for a second bookable offence, and Lee Johnson's side hammered home their numerical advantage when Charlie Wyke notched his 18th league goal of the season after latching on to a through ball from substitute Jordan Jones.
