Sunderland travelled to Sincil Bank for new boss Lee Johnson’s first league away game, and did something that was unthinkable - deservedly winning, by four clear goals, and looking like an efficient unit, with substitutions made well and as effectively as necessary, and the Lads looking like they believed in themselves. Four nil at the team who started the day second in the league is something worthy of praise – so, well done Lads, and that includes the new gaffer. It’s amazing, if blindingly obvious, what a bit of pace coupled with a willingness to carry the ball forwards, will do.
