Luke Molyneux was in action for the Sunderland Under-23 side against their West Bromwich Albion counterparts on Monday.
Sunderland forward Luke Molyneux has taken to social networking site Twitter to express his delight at his side’s win against West Bromwich Albion in the Under-23 match on Monday.
The Sunderland Under-23 side got the better of their West Brom counterparts 2-1 at Eppleton Colliery Welfare.
It was the Black Cats’ first win of the season, and young forward Molyneux played well for the home team.
The 20-year-old forward opened the scoring for Sunderland on 22 minutes when he capitalised on a West Brom defensive mix-up and calmly slotted the ball home.
Molyneux – who signed a new contract with Sunderland in July and will stay at the Stadium of Light until next summer, as reported by The Chronicle – has taken to Twitter to revel in the win.
Sunderland fans have responded positively to the message from the 20-year-old forward, and hope that he gets a chance in Jack Ross’s first team soon.
Young Sunderland prospect James Talbot has also responded to Molyneux’s message on Twitter.
