Mannone: Stopper on positive start

Vito Mannone has expressed his delight after Sunderland kicked-off their pre-season campaign with a win and a clean sheet over Hartlepool United on Wednesday evening.

The stopper featured for 45 minutes as the Lads built a comfortable 3-0 lead after a Jermain Defoe brace and a Wahbi Khazri strike.

It was the Black Cats’ first test ahead of the new 2016-17 Premier League season and speaking to safc.com Mannone admitted it was a worthwhile match-fitness booster.

We’ve had a good result after a tough 10-days in Austria
