We needed that win. Seemed a bit more experience in the side tonight. Still a bit young but much better.
Burnley U21 0-3 Sunderland U21 Sunderland Under-21 claimed their first Premier League 2 win of the season, as three first-half goals secured a 3-0 win over Burnley on Friday night. Harrison Jones’ 11th-minute strike and a brace from Timur Tutierov, both of whom were brought back into the side, helped Graeme Murty’s side to their first three points of their 2025-26 PL2 season. The Lads started brightly, as Harrison Jones’ effort from a one-on-one was parried away by Oisin Cooney, before Ethan Moore’s teasing low cross evaded Finn Geragusian, who made his first U21 start of the season. Murty’s side continued to dominate and found their reward within 11 minutes. After a sweeping diagonal by Tutierov, Moore’s cut-back was dummied by Geragusian, before H.Jones fired an effort into the top left corner. Only 13 minutes later, our advantage was doubled. Jenson Jones’ long ball forward found Tutierov, who galloped his way to the edge of the Burnley penalty area, before slotting a finish under Cooney. Tutierov added a stunning third just before half time, as the Ukrainian whipped an effort beyond the Burnley ‘keeper and into the top right corner. In the second half, Jack Whittaker saw two attempts to extend the Lads’ lead denied at close range by Cooney, before H.Jones’ powerful low cross was inches away from Geragusian adding a fourth. Late on, Ben Middlemas’ volley from the edge of the area was beaten away by the ‘keeper, before Finlay Holcroft led what almost proved to be a devastating counter-attack, but his long-range effort was punched away by Cooney. Murty’s side return to league action next Saturday, as they travel to Aston Villa in Premier League 2 (3pm kick-off). Sunderland U21: Allan, Jenson Jones (Neild 70’), Holcroft, Kindon, Lightfoot, Burke (Jaydon Jones 70’), Harrison Jones, Middlemas, Moore (Scott 70’), Geragusian, Tutierov (Whittaker 45’) Subs not used: Metcalf Latest news...
Hope Toots is OK., he has looked the part this season , and Garagusian is one to watch, add Harrison Jones touch of class, and the lads are back in town. OaU
From the little I have seen of him Clocky, Tutierov looks like he will be a decent player in future. Have you seen much of him?
