One of the best’ – Sunderland hailed by Watford boss Tom Cleverley
Sunderland are ‘one of the best pass-and-move’ teams Watford boss Tom Cleverley has seen.
Sunderland were beaten 2-1 away at Vicarage Road over the weekend but the Hornets’ manager was impressed by the way the visitors played.
The host led 1-0 at half-time after Festy Ebosele’s opener. The Black Cats levelled it up early in the second-half through Wilson Isidor, only for Tom Dele-Bashiru to score the winner six minutes from time from the penalty spot.
Cleverley said after the match, as per a report by the Watford Observer: “You always want to kick on and be as assertive as we were against Stoke, but Sunderland are a good side. They’re one of the best pass-and-move sides I’ve seen, with rotations and with young players who can take the ball.
“We saw that at the end of last season, and it was a similar sort of performance from them today, particularly the way they dominated the ball in the second half. I think we limited them to far less clear-cut chances today.”
Sunderland hailed
Sunderland have made an impressive start to the new season and have won five out of their first seven fixtures.
