Sunderland fans react on Twitter to Max Power display last night

A number of Sunderland fans have taken to Twitter to praise Max Power’s performance and late goal for the Black Cats in the 1-1 draw at the Stadium of Light last night.

Sunderland hosted Fleetwood in League One but Phil Parkinson’s charges got off to a bad start as Barrie McKay netted for the visitors in the fifth minute.

Although the Black Cats dominated possession and had 16 shots during the game, they struggled to seriously test the opposition goalkeeper.

However, Sunderland got over the line in dramatic fashion as, deep into stoppage time, Power was in the right place at the right time to slam home from close range.

Aside from his crucial late intervention, the Sunderland captain put in a good shift during the match, particularly after the break when he was on top of the play more.

Here is what some Sunderland fans have been saying about the 26-year-old’s efforts on the night:

Thank God for Max Power!! #SAFC

Max Power, he’s the man whose name you’d love to touch.
But you mustn’t touch, his name sounds good in your ear.
But when you say it, you mustn’t fear.
Cause his name can be said by anyone.#SAFC

That goal could be massive in the season, the way it plans out. Max Power is a leader, a total new player since taking on the captaincy. Sunderland never give up, the character and spirit in this side is too be admired. Kept fighting until the very ever #SAFC

It seems to me that Max Power is absolutely hellbent on driving (no pun intended) this team towards promotion, and that he won’t rest until it’s been achieved. His leadership and fighting spirit are exactly what I want to see from a Sunderland captain. Superb. #SAFC ?⚪️
