Remember the 2015/16 Premier League? Something similar and shocking is happening in the Premier League once again this season.
One team side has shocked everyone, playing fearless football and winning against some of the biggest names in the country.
On Saturday, their dramatic late winner stunned the entire Premier League. Their fans erupted, and a young winger no one had heard of before became the hero of the night.
That moment lifted the team up the table. But this story is not just about one goal. It is about a manager who has quietly built something special. The Sun has also made a bold comparison.
They say their manager reminds of Arsene Wenger. Former Arsenal boss had a calm figure with a sharp mind and an eye for hidden talent.
Just Wenger’s team, Regis Le Bris created his Sunderland team with players that other clubs ignored. Most of them arrived for modest fees, yet they now look like stars.
This summer, Sunderland spent £161 million on 14 new signings. They also sold 17 players, including promotion heroes like Jobe Bellingham and Tom Watson.
Many tipped the Black Cats to be a failure because of their selling spree. Despite the massive turnover, the squad has gelled quickly.
Saturday’s winning goal came from a move involving three new arrivals: Lutsharel Geertruida, Brian Brobbey, and Chemsdine Talbi, the 20-year-old Moroccan who scored the late winner.
Up front, Wilson Isidor has impressed, drawing Thierry Henry comparisons after his composed finish earlier in the match.
At the back, Nordi Mukiele and young goalkeeper Robin Roefs have added strength, while Granit Xhaka leads the team on and off the pitch.
Sunderland players remain humble, focused on staying in the Premier League. But their fans believe this could be more than just a survival story.
