It was the perfect start for Oliver Reiss’ team when City were awarded a penalty for a foul on Teddie Lamb.
The City number nine converted from the penalty spot on 21 minutes before Christian Dunbar-McDonald produced a fine finish to double our lead in his first start in two months following an injury.
MATCH REPORT | CITY 4-1 SUNDERLAND
To complete the clinical first half, Dante Headley made it three from close range, guiding home after Kylan Midwood’s initial effort was cleared.
Midwood wouldn’t be denied again, scoring a fantastic volley at the back post after Dunbar-McDonald’s strike was saved by the outstretched hand of Sunderland goalkeeper Finley Robertson.
City were unfortunate not to keep a clean sheet, with Lewis Campbell scoring a consolation for the visitors late in the game for a full-time score of 4-1.
