Report: Central League victory for young Black Cats

Sunderland AFC U21 4-3 Derby County U21

Sunderland AFC Under-21s came from 3-0 down to snatch victory from Derby in the Central League.

The visitors started strong grabbing three goals in 40 minutes before Graeme Murty's side started the comeback.

Trey Ogunsuyi was brought down in the area just before the break. After winning the penalty, the frontman stepped up to dispatch the Lads' opener.

Five minutes after the restart, Jaydon Jones got in on the act, winning the ball back inside the Derby area before striking home the second.

Kailem Beattie grabbed the third with 15 to play before Aaron Chung continued his fine form grabbing the winner in the 91st minute.

The 17-year-old weaved through the Rams defence before dispatching a curling effort into the top corner to confirm the three points on Wearside.
