It was a tough welcome to English football for Sunderland new boy Edouard Michut who was sent off in his first appearance in red and white colours. John Hewitson gave Alex Bass, Bailey Wright, Jay Matete and Leon Dajaku important minutes as they look to build-up their fitness following the lack of first-team football.
The Under-21's have not had it easy so far this season - seeing three players sent off in their last two games. In truth, the young Black Cats should and probably could have imposed themselves better on the game.
Matete and Wright were the only first-teamers to really have an impact on proceedings. The Australian international was reliable as ever at the back, with Matete industrious in midfield.
