Tony Mowbray insists 'diamond' Luke O'Nien will learn from his red card mistake against Swansea City - and says he has no worries that the incident will play on his mind. O'Nien was sent off inside the opening 20 minutes of Sunderland's weekend home defeat at the hands of the Swans after being shown a straight red card for a bad challenge on Oli Cooper.
The dismissal changed the game, with Sunderland having been on top up to that point but once they went down to ten men it allowed Swansea to dominate and they ended up winning 3-1. But Mowbray has praised O'Nien numerous times this season and remains a big fan of the versatile defender.
"Luke is a diamond of a kid," said Mowbray. "He's apologised to the dressing room there but he doesn't really need to.
