A number of Sunderland fans have taken to Twitter to praise Dion Sanderson for yet another superb performance for the Black Cats.

The 21-year-old joined the Stadium of Light outfit on loan from Wolves in October and has been a revelation for Lee Johnson’s side, who are now firmly in the League One automatic promotion chase.

Sanderson has made 21 appearances for Sunderland, including 20 in the league, and since becoming a regular starter, he’s played a huge role in the Black Cats’ amazing run of form.

Sunderland have won seven of their last eight league games, drawing the other, and are now third in the table, five points behind leaders Hull and with two games in hand.

On Wednesday, the Wearside outfit ran out 2-0 winners away at Accrington Stanley, their fourth clean-sheet league win in a row and sixth shut-out from their last seven in the league.

Sunderland broke the deadlock just after the hour as debutant Ross Stewart scored with a looping header 20 minutes after coming off the bench.

Charlie Wyke then made sure of all three points with a trademark header four minutes from time.

While the Sunderland front line continues to deliver, the back line remained completely watertight, with Sanderson looking in total control once again.

Here is what some Black Cats supporters said about the 6ft 2in ace on social media:
