Sunderland AFC 2-0 Port Vale
Sunderland have reached the Papa Johnâs Trophy quarter-finals following a 2-0 win over Port Vale at the Stadium of Light.
Lee Johnsonâs side bossed proceedings from start to finish on a brisk Wearside night.
Elliot Embleton should have won a penalty and the midfielder also struck the crossbar, with the woodwork coming to Valeâs rescue once again following the restart.
Substitute Charlie Wyke forced an excellent save with 15 minutes on the clock, but it was Aiden McGeady that secured the win, netting from the spot in added time.
The Lads made a commanding start to proceedings and they should have been awarded a penalty when Adam Crookes brought down Embleton inside the box, but the referee inexplicably signalled for a free-kick.
