Gordon sees light at end of Black Cats’ tunnel

SUNDERLAND goalkeeper Craig Gordon has admitted his disappointment at being dropped by the man who paid £9million (€12.5m) for him.

The 24-year-old became Britain’s most expensive goalkeeper when he completed his big-money move from Hearts during the summer, but found himself sitting on the substitutes’ bench for the 1-0 Premier League victory over Derby just 14 games into his career on Wearside.

Manager Roy Keane asked Darren Ward to take over against the Rams following the 7-1 defeat at Everton, and he then kept his place for the 2-0 defeat at Chelsea last weekend.
