New Sunderland manager, Martin O'Neill has his new team in fine form. Sunderland suprised everyone with a 1-0 win over league leaders Manchester City last Sunday. Sunderland repeated the trick in tough conditions at the D.W stadium on Tuesday evening over Wigan 1-4.

Featured player Nicklas Bendtner got an assist for the third goal with a good low accurate cross, it was a quiet game for him in a role where he had to play the lone role upfront.
