• Wilson Isidor’s strike sends Black Cats back to top

Hull City’s head coach Tim Walter revealed referee Robert Madley apologised to him for his inadvertent role in Sunderland’s winner that helped the Black Cats return to the top of the Championship table.

Wilson Isidor’s third goal in four matches, in which the on-loan Zenit St Petersburg striker ran half the length of the field and lifted the ball over Ivor Pandur, sealed a 1-0 win for Sunderland at MKM Stadium.
