Sunderland defender Bailey Wright has declared the upmost pride when representing his native country, following his goal in Australia's 2-1 win over Jordan just days ago. The 29-year-old restored parity in the game before Awer Mabil netted the winner with just twenty minutes remaining.
Wright's Australia will face United Arab Emirates in a crucial World Cup knockout game in just four days time, with the 29-year-old fresh off the back of promotion to the Championship with Sunderland this season.
Given his length spell away from the side in recent years, the former Preston man was happy he could chip in as he met Craig Goodwin’s whipped free-kick at the back post to score his first international goal in eight years.
