Sunderland U21s picked up their second win of the Premier League 2 Division 2 campaign with a 3-2 win over Stoke City. The result means Graeme Murty's side leapfrogged the Potters to move above them in the table, coming from behind at St. George's Park.
The Black Cats handed six first-team players vital minutes as they continue to acclimatise to life on Wearside. Edouard Michut, Abdoullah Ba and Jewison Bennette all played 90 minutes despite featuring against Burnley yesterday afternoon.
Stoke took the lead through Sonny Singh in the first-half before Harry Gardiner equalised on the brink of half-time. The Sunderland striker would add his second of the afternoon just after the hour mark, before Michut completed the Black Cats comeback.
