What Sunderland Did that Made the Difference as They Beat Oxford United in FA Cup
Diarra scored from a penalty after Dennis Cirkin was fouled, securing Sunderland’s win in a tightly contested FA Cup match, with no VAR review involved.
- Yesterday, Sunderland went ahead after 33 minutes following a challenge by Christ Makosso that resulted in a penalty, which Diarra scored after one look from referee Thomas Kirk.
- Oxford had not been awarded a penalty for 85 games and face the real prospect of their time in the second tier ending after two seasons.
- Matt Ingram produced crucial saves in the final half-hour as Oxford pressed, denying Romaine Mundle and Chemsdine Talbi, while Jamie McDonnell side-footed over a big chance in the 70th minute.
- Supporters booed the officials at half-time over the penalty, which some described as generous, while Sunderland progress in the FA Cup after their Wembley play-off final return.
- Late in the match, a 21-year-old loanee from Tottenham made his second appearance after injury, with Makosso and Hume both denied at the goalkeeper's near post while pressing continued.
