Granit Xhaka and Habib Diarra took to social media to thank Sunderland fans after the Black Cats’ resilient 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace. Despite failing to register a shot on target, Sunderland showed discipline and grit, with goalkeeper Robin Roefs delivering a man-of-the-match performance to secure a valuable point. The result marked the club’s first Premier League away clean sheet since 2017 and equalled their best-ever top-flight start with seven points from four games. Manager Régis Le Bris also confirmed that Enzo Le Fée missed out with a minor injury, though it is not thought to be serious.

Harry Toffolo’s transfer saga has reached its conclusion, with the 29-year-old defender agreeing to join Charlotte FC in Major League Soccer. After being linked with Sunderland earlier this summer, Toffolo has accepted a three-year deal and is already undergoing medicals in the U.S., according to Fabrizio Romano. Sunderland ultimately chose to pursue Reinildo Mandava, leaving the door open for Charlotte to secure the former Nottingham Forest full-back. Meanwhile, Sunderland boss Régis Le Bris remains upbeat despite a winless pre-season run, praising new signings like Reinildo and hinting at Granit Xhaka taking over as team captain.
