Sunderland midfielder Luke O’Nien provided a light-hearted response after some interesting reports came out after the Black Cats’ pre-season friendly with Roma.
Roma manager Jose Mourinho, upset with some of O’Nien’s challenges on his players, stormed on to the pitch during the game to demand that the 27-year-old be sent off. Roma and Sunderland faced each other in Albufeira on Wednesday, and O'Nien certainly left his mark when he caught defender Roger Ibanez in the face with a stray elbow.
The challenge left Ibanez grounded and in need of treatment which infuriated Mourinho, who was left in disbelief as to how the Sunderland man was not sent off. When the altercation on Wednesday was revealed on social media by bet365’s Twitter account, O’Nien provided a hilarious response.
