The Sunderland midfielder was easily their best player in the draw with West Bromwich Albion.
Sunderland midfielder Didier Ndong was in fine form as his side drew with West Bromwich Albion this weekend.
The Black Cats hosted Tony Pulis’s side at the Stadium of Light on Saturday looking to secure their first win of the season.
It proved to be another disappointing afternoon for them though as they had to settle for a point late on when Patrick van Aanholt levelled Nacer Chadli’s opener.
In truth it was another game where few of the Sunderland players came out with their heads held high, but one man who did impress was midfielder Ndong, who posted several impressive stats.

His passing was also impressive as he registered 47 accurate passes, the most of any player, 12 of which were in the final third, he and enjoyed an overall passing accuracy of 90%.
