Sunderland midfielder celebrates first ever goal.
Sunderland midfielder Luke O’Nien scored his first home goal for the Black Cats in a win over Barnsley.
O’Nien scored Sunderland’s fourth goal which sealed the win.
Sunderland had led 3-1 at half-time thanks to goals from Aiden McGeady, Josh Maja and Lynden Gooch.
Barnsley’s Kieffer Moore scored a second in the 61st minute and Barnsley pushed for an equaliser.
O’Nien’s 83rd minute goal put Sunderland’s win beyond doubt.
He was thrilled to get off the mark in front of the home fans.
The 24-year-old has been a smart signing from Wycombe Wanderers and shows how smart Sunderland’s transfer activity was to target quality players in the lower divisions.
This was O’Nien’s second goal of the season, and first at home, following an away strike against Shrewsbury last month.
