Chopra brace marks emotional comeback

MICHAEL CHOPRA dedicated his comeback goals to his baby son after coming off the bench to fire Sunderland to a 2-0 victory over derby rivals Middlesbrough.

The 24-year-old emerged from personal problems which saw him head for the Sporting Chance clinic during his recent enforced lay-off to remind the red and white faithful exactly what he is capable of with a match-winning display.

Manager Roy Keane admitted after the game that his side had ridden their luck, but there was nothing fortunate about Chopra’s contribution.
