Sordell bags double to take Sunderland scalp

Sunderland 0 Bolton 2

There was little in the first half to suggest the Black Cats would not ultimately cruise home, with Adam Johnson twice denied by superb saves from Andrew Lonergan.

Making only his second start of the season, Connor Wickham headed a cross from James McClean into Lonergan’s arms, then Craig Gardner came close with a free-kick in the first action of the second period.
