Sunderland fan-favourite Luke O’Nien has heaped praise on fellow teammate Chris Mepham.
The Black Cats were held to a goalless stalemate at the weekend on their travels to Queens Park Rangers.
On the attacking front, Sunderland weren’t quite up to their usual tricks, with Wilson Isidor uncharacteristically looking quiet when leading the line for the Black Cats.
Sunderland’s job of coming away from London with all three points was made difficult following a decision by the referee to hand Jobe Bellingham a red card, which means that he will be absent for three games.
On the other hand, Regis Le Bris’ side yet again put in a superb effort defensively, with Dennis Cirkin notching yet another wonderful performance from left-back.
Sunderland defender and club captain Luke O’Nien has also been a key part of the defence, and he has delivered praise towards his fellow centre-back Chris Mepham after they notched yet another clean sheet.
Sunderland star Luke O’Nien gives Chris Mepham ‘superb’ verdict
The Black Cats managed to accumulate their 8th clean sheet in only 13 games against Queens Park Rangers, and whilst there was little attacking firepower to deal with on this time out, the likes of O’Nien and Mepham proved to be a solid centre-back partnership yet again
Mepham has been highly regarded since he joined from Bournemouth on loan, and now his fellow Sunderland teammate is the latest person to heap praise on the Welsh international.
