Andy’s Player Ratings: Sunderland u21 3 – 1 Arsenal u21 – Black Cats Cruise To Victory
The good form of Sunderland u21s continues as they comfortably beat Arsenal, here’s how Andy rated the lads!
Joe Cowan: 7/10 Made a really good stop from an Arsenal penalty in the first half, had no chance with the goal but got lucky when the linesman’s flag saved him after he spilled a deep cross . Keeping our two-goal lead intact 👊 Joe Cowan saves Andre Harriman-Annous' penalty in tonight's #PL2 clash… https://t. co/FevDadCnjL pic.

Had the better of his man down the right, until he got turned too easily just before he was subbed off with 5 minutes remaining.

Ben Kindon: 8/10 Finished really well at the back post to make it 3-0, almost got another but steered a header wide late on, and like his centre back partner, dominated the Arsenal attack.
