His sharpness, his temperament—it’s all elite.” O’Nien also praised Mayenda’s growth, noting the young striker’s perseverance through a challenging start to his Sunderland career. “He’s a great example for any young player—he’s worked hard, earned his spot, and now he’s shining.”

Mark Robins has praised Stoke City’s rising stars Nathan Lowe and Sol Sidibe, celebrating their nominations for EFL awards as a reflection of their talent and commitment.

Despite traveling to the match, he was replaced by Dominic Iorfa, who was later substituted himself before the hour mark. Röhl confirmed that Iorfa’s substitution was a tactical decision, not injury-related, and provided valuable minutes for rookie Gabriel Otegbayo.
