PLAYER RATINGS: Sunderland hit back in first half style with a cracking goal or two

A very competent away performance ensured Sunderland shook off the disappointment of being drubbed for 3 on their last travels. Despite the very typical slow start, allowing Accrington to take the lead, the Lads hit back with three of their own goals before half time - including an exquiste finish from Lynden Gooch.

It feels like it's been a while because of this pesky international break, but Sunderland sit just two points off the top, which is a strong position to be in.
