Eliezer Mayenda’s jaw-dropping solo goal against Bristol City left teammates and fans alike in stunned admiration.

“It’s comfortably the best goal I’ve ever seen live,” said Luke O’Nien. “But honestly, we’ve seen flashes of that in training. 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.”
