Nothing like a little taste of your own medicine, huh? With a long ball into the box from Sulley Muntari, Asamoah Gyan found himself with just Robert Huth to beat before striking past Asmir Begovic to again take the lead away from home. It was a great bit of striker play in not only finishing well past the keeper, but more so in holding off Huth, who's no mug in defense.
Stoke City Vs. Sunderland: Asamoah Gyan Is Dancing At The Britannia, Puts Sunderland Up 2-1
The goal came just three minutes after the start of the second half in the 48th and now has Stoke City again chasing Sunderland. Now clicking and playing the much better football, Sunderland are retaining possession and look to need just one more goal to end any chance Stoke has of a comeback or a sharing of the points on offer. The Black Cats are also now dealing with Stoke's direct balls into the box much more effectively.
Also for Sunderland, both of their new signings - Sulley Muntari and Stephane Sessegnon - have been booked and will face a nervy last 30+ minutes of the match on a yellow.
