A brace from Diallo, Simms’ free-kick and Dion Sanderson’s goal all contributed to Sunderland’s 3-1 win at Birmingham. In this article, we look at the match’s key moments. We also take a look at a couple of key individual performances.
Diallo’s brace
Sunderland are back on the winning trail after Amad Diallo’s brace. The Manchester United loanee doubled their lead after the 25th minute. The first came when Diallo held up the ball brilliantly to play in Ellis Simms in space. The second was a curling left-foot effort that slipped past Ruddy’s dive.
Simms’ goal
Diallo nets a stunning goal after half-time to hand Sunderland a 1-0 win at Birmingham. The striker escaped several challenges before launching a left-foot curler past Birmingham goalkeeper Sammy Ruddy. The goal came after the half-hour mark, when the hosts created a few chances but failed to test Patterson. Birmingham did create one good chance, however, when substitute Jutkiewicz buried a low cross from Emmanuel Longelo.
