da bet7： A selection of Sunderland supporters have been reacting on social media to an EFL Cup last 16 memory ahead of Tuesday night’s Carabao Cup clash with Oxford United.
da esoccer bet： The Black Cats have not featured in the fourth round of the EFL competition since their relegation from the Premier League when they were beaten by Southampton, but three years prior it was the North East outfit who had the better of the Saints.
Sunderland hosted Southampton at the Stadium of Light on November 6, 2013, when goals by Phil Bardsley and Sebastian Larsson ensured the south coast side would be sent home as the defeated team.
Bardsley opened the scoring 14 minutes into the second-half, when he pounced on the ball after Saints shot-stopper Kelvin Davis could only parry Jozy Altidore’s header.
The American striker would again be involved in the action when he teed Larsson up to double the Black Cats’ advantage, with Altidore slotting his Swedish teammate through into the box to stroke the ball home under Davis.
