It was a brave move by Sunderland boss Chris Coleman, bringing on two teenage rookies at the expense of senior strikers Lewis Grabban and James Vaughan as the clock ticked towards one year without a home win.
But then Coleman does not want for courage. After all, he took on the challenge of a team at the bottom of the Championship with no money to spend.
So perhaps he will have to find answers in the club’s academy, where the likes of match-winner Josh Maja and striker partner Joel Asoro — both 18 — have long been talked of as deserving a shot at the first-team.
