Sunderland thump Stoke to end losing run

Sunderland got some relief thanks to Abdoullah Ba's contribution, while Stoke City's performance degraded.

The Sunderland team overcame some negative thoughts prior to their game against Stoke City by achieving a 3-1 victory in the Championships at their home ground, the Stadium of Light.

Despite the chaos, Beale's team pleased the fans in the home stadium, who numbered over 41,000, by scoring a goal just before half-time thanks to Mason Burstow's effort within six yards of the goalpost.

Abdoullah Ba had a quick crash right after the break, due to Jack Clarke's exceptional performance on the left. The scorer transformed into a provider and passed the ball back to Pierre Ekwah, who powerfully struck the ball into the net.

Stoke received a glimmer of hope when Jenson Seelt scored an own-goal. However, despite their efforts, they were unable to make any additional progress against Sunderland's defense, resulting in the points remaining with Sunderland.

It is the third time that Steven Schumacher has lost as the manager for the Potters football team, after Alex Neil left.

The head of sporting operations at Sunderland, Kristjaan Speakman, had discussed the club's need for more attacking power earlier in the week. Fortunately, Chelsea loan player Burstow was able to score his first goal for Sunderland at just the right time.

He scored a goal, which happened right after Clarke had a missed shot even though he was in a good position to score. Additionally, Ekwah also had a shot but was stopped.

In the second half, the team finally displayed the finishing skills that Beale has been looking for. They were able to convert the clever plays made by Clarke and Ba into successful goals. The only thing that prevented them from scoring a fourth was Burger's impressive goalline save.

Stoke hasn't been performing as well under Schumacher as they did at the beginning, but they still had many opportunities in this match.

During the initial half, their excellent performance was highlighted by the close attempt from Luke Cundle which was stopped right on the goal line. Additionally, Bae Jun-ho was also prevented from scoring multiple times due to the impressive defensive strategies of the Sunderland team.

The game is over, with Sunderland triumphing 3-1 over Stoke City.
