Sunderland have hailed Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson on Twitter for his success at the 2019 FIFA Club World Cup.
Liverpool got the better of Brazilian outfit Flamengo 1-0 in the final of the Club World Cup after extra time on Saturday.
Roberto Firmino’s goal in the 99th minute proved to be the difference between the two sides.
Henderson is the captain of Liverpool, and Sunderland have congratulated the 29-year-old on his success with the Reds.

Although the Englishman has to fight for his place in the Liverpool starting lineup, his influence in the dressing room is hugely important.
Sunderland have praised Henderson on Twitter, and some Liverpool fans have responded to the League One club’s post, as shown below.
