The former referee has once again weighed in on a Sunderland incident this season…
Sunderland could be fined by the EFL after the West Brom game, according to former PGMOL referee Keith Hackett.
Sunderland secured a 1-0 victory over West Brom at The Hawthorns on Saturday, with Trai Hume netting the decisive goal in the 35th minute following a mistake by West Brom goalkeeper Joe Wildsmith.
Trai Hume was the goalscorer for the Black Cats, whilst Dan Neil shone in Sunderland’s midfield.
Unfortunately, Sunderland winger Romaine Mundle picked up a hamstring injury that could see him out for some time, but luckily, Le Bris’ side were bolstered by the return of Enzo Le Fee to the squad.
Of course, this win meant much more to the Black Cats squad, having faced off against former Sunderland boss Tony Mowbray, who one player has spoken highly of after the win.

Mowbray’s tenure on Wearside was rather short-lived, despite giving Black Cats fans a memorable 2022/23 season that saw them reach the Championship play-offs, a remarkable overachievement for a newly-promoted side.
The former Sunderland boss was let go in favour of Michael Beale, a decision that certainly backfired in the 2023/24 campaign.
Mowbray, since his dismissal at Sunderland, then received a diagnosis for bowel cancer, but has now managed to step back into management with The Baggies, who he has led to 8th in the table.
