“Clean sheets are a point of pride, but they’re only possible because of the commitment from the lads in front of me,” said Anthony Patterson after securing his 50th shutout in Sunderland colours.
The 24-year-old stopper was instrumental in the 1-0 win over West Brom, delivering key saves to maintain the lead handed to the Black Cats by Trai Hume’s stunning free kick.
Now with 13 clean sheets this season, Patterson’s return to form could prove crucial as Sunderland gear up for a late push in the Championship promotion race.

### **Aiden McGeady Remembers His Magical Wembley Moment**

Aiden McGeady is widely regarded as a modern Sunderland legend, his five-year stint leaving a lasting imprint on the club’s history. Among his most unforgettable performances was the 2018/19 EFL Trophy Final against Portsmouth, where he delivered two stunning goals—an early free-kick masterpiece and a dramatic 119th-minute equalizer. Yet, despite the heroics, Sunderland fell short in a heartbreaking 5-4 penalty shootout defeat.

Reflecting on that electric afternoon, McGeady recalled the sheer magnitude of the occasion. *“It was probably the atmosphere that made it so special. Eighty thousand fans, split between Sunderland and Portsmouth, for a League One trophy final—it was unbelievable.”*

Though the trophy eluded them, the experience remains etched in his memory. *“When I scored that second goal, we all went mad. For a moment, it felt like destiny. But then reality hit… penalties. And we all thought, ‘We’ve just come back, surely we’ll win this.’”*

The outcome may not have been what Sunderland fans had hoped for, but McGeady’s performance cemented his place in club folklore—a reminder of the passion and heartbreak that comes with chasing glory at Wembley.
