Sunderland 3-1 Fleetwood as Luke O'Nien scores on his return to help Black Cats climb into top six

Luke O'Nien scored on his return from injury as Sunderland came from behind to beat Fleetwood Town and move back into the play-off places. O'Nien had been out for almost four months after undergoing shoulder surgery, but he came off the bench with 20 minutes remaining and scored the goal that completed the turnaround.

Fleetwood had taken the lead just before the half-hour through Ellis Harrison after a terrible error from Bailey Wright. But Elliot Embleton had levelled for the Black Cats soon after half-time.

Fleetwood were reduced to ten men a couple of minutes from the end when Zak Jules was sent off for a second bookable offence. And on-loan Spurs man Jack Clarke sealed the win in added time, scoring his first goal for the club.
