Sunderland players have reacted following a brilliant performance by Wilson Isidor vs Hull City.
The Black Cats managed to see off Hull City at the MKM Stadium, where Regis Le Bris’ side were able to notch yet another victory on the road, leaving them top of the Championship.
It was a cagey affair for Sunderland against the Tigers, however they were able to get their noses in front after a brilliant showing by several of Le Bris’ stars.
Chris Mepham managed to put on an impeccable showing at the back, alongside fellow defender Luke O’Nien.
However, the difference maker in the win was summer signing Wilson Isidor, who bagged the solitary goal in the win to wrap up all three points, however it came with its controversies after the referee allegedly got in the way of Hull City midfielder Xavier Simons.
The French forward really showed his attacking qualities in the win and many Sunderland fans have reacted to his performance following the game against Hull City.

Isidor was without a doubt brilliant against Hull City and he has done brilliantly well to step in for the injured Eliezer Mayenda, who was also on top form prior to the Frenchman’s arrival.
The Black Cats attacker took to Instagram following the victory, where he wrote a message to Sunderland fans that said: “Big away win, back on top of the league. Thanks to the fans for this amazing support.”
His fellow Sunderland teammates were on call to respond to his brilliant showing as O’Nien wrote ‘💨💨💨’, whilst Romaine Mundle left ‘😮’ in the comments.

Wilson Isidor is the player that Sunderland have lacked since Ross Stewart
There has certainly been a struggle in Wearside when it comes to having a striker to rely on for a consistent goalscoring output ever since the departure of Scotsman Ross Stewart, who is currently enduring an injury-ridden spell at Southampton.
It looked as though Mayenda was showing signs of being a seasoned goalscorer before he was hit by injury, but it has successfully and thankfully been followed up by Isidor, as the 24-year-old has already managed three goals in seven games, averaging one every 120 minutes.
If Isidor can continue this fine run, he could truly be a brilliant long term asset for the club, and could easily be the difference between Sunderland continuing to be a promotion challenging side this season.
