Sunderland: These fans have been reminiscing about Kieran Richardson’s strike against Newcastle United
Sunderland and Newcastle United haven’t met in the Premier League since 2016, as per 11v11, but that doesn’t prevent fans of the Black Cats reminiscing about some of their team’s great goals in the fixture.
The latest strike they have been enjoying looking back on is Kieran Richardson’s effort in 2008, when he smashed the ball past Shay Given from a free-kick to help earn the club a win:
“A GOAL FROM THE HEAVENS!”
