Sheffield United boss singles out two ‘really good’ Sunderland players after Black Cats loss
Chris Wilder spoke positively about Sunderland’s playing squad, after his side beat the Black Cats 1-0 on Friday night.
Sheffield United now sit in 1st place of the Championship table after a 1-0 win against Sunderland at Bramall Lane on Friday night, whilst the Black Cats remain in 4th.
Regis Le Bris sees his side’s 10-game unbeaten run in the Championship come to an end, and the game wasn’t without its controversy either.
Speaking after the game, Le Bris reacted to Chris Mepham’s red card for Sunderland, declining to comment on what was a debatable straight red card.
He and Chris Wilder appeared to have some stern words after full-time with Le Bris looking as frustrated as we’ve seen him so far.
But the Blades boss then went on to speak positively about Sunderland’s playing squad after the game, highlighting two players he thinks are ‘really good’.
Chris Wilder hails Tommy Watson and one other Sunderland star
For the Black Cats, there weren’t too many standout performances against Sheffield United. But Sunderland fans were wowed by Tommy Watson as he earned an unexpected start.
Watson struggled for Sunderland in the draw at Millwall last time out and it looked as though he’d be benched for the game at Bramall Lane.
