Luke O'Nien says there has to be ‘collective responsibility’ for Sunderland’s disappointing start to the season…
Sunderland defender Luke O'Nien called for collective responsibility following the club's difficult start to the season, praising the team's response in their 1-0 Premier League victory over Chelsea. Head coach Regis Le Bris had faced mounting pressure after Sunderland fell to the bottom of the table, but the win lifted the Black Cats out of last place before the international break.
O'Nien assumed the captain's armband after midfielder Granit Xhaka was substituted within five minutes due to a calf injury sustained in the warm-up. O'Nien commended Xhaka for remaining engaged and offering tactical advice during half-time despite his early exit.
