Bruce salutes slimmed-down midfielder Reid

SUNDERLAND manager Steve Bruce was full of praise for slimmed-down midfielder Andy Reid after the midfielder’s role in a 4-1 Carling Cup victory at Norwich last night.

Reid scored twice as the Black Cats moved into the third round at Carrow Road.

Teemu Tainio set the ball rolling for the Barclays Premier League club before Reid netted a well-taken double.
