Former Celtic target Edouard Michut scores first ever goal as Tony Mowbray slams 'incompetent' referee

Former Celtic transfer target Edouard Michut scored his first professional goal for Sunderland on a controversial night in the English Championship.

The French prospect, whose parent club Paris Saint-Germain have earmarked as a big player in the future, is currently on loan with Tony Mowbray's side and managed to strike in the first half to score his first ever goal. The 19-year-old was linked with a move to Scottish champions Celtic last summer. It was believed an offer of £2m was touted for Ange Postecoglou to bring the youngster to Glasgow but the Aussie boss moved to shut down reports.

Yet the midfielder was on hand to score in a controversial evening as it was revealed post-match by Mowbray that an official had claimed to a member of Sunderland's coaching staff that Sheffield United's equaliser should not have stood. This sparked an irate reaction from the Black Cats gaffer.
