Sunderland international round-up as duo miss out on more international minutes

Jewison Bennette and Corry Evans were both unused substitutes for Costa Rica and Northern Ireland respectively in the final round of international fixtures.

Bennette scored his first international goals with a brace in Costa Rica's 2-2 draw against South Korea on Friday. The 18-year-old, who arrived from Costa Rican outfit Herediano, has immediately announced himself to the Sunderland faithful with an 87th equaliser in the Black Cats' 2-2 draw at Watford in just his second game.

He consolidated his auspicious start in the Championship by playing a starring role for Costa Rica in Goyang. Bennette gobbled up two poacher-like finishes either side of half-time to overturn Hwang Hee-chan's early opener.
