Football League World's Sunderland fan pundit Charlie Hodgson has called for Phil Parkinson to play Benjamin Mbunga-Kimpioka at centre-forward until January on the back of his late equaliser on Saturday. 

The 19-year-old came off the bench to score a 90th-minute equaliser against Coventry City at the Stadium of Light after Dom Hyam put the visitors ahead in the first half.

Mbunga-Kimpioka has made three substitute appearances for the Black Cats in League One–playing for a total of 17 minutes.

Hodgson revealed that he had been impressed by the teenager's display on Saturday and called for Parkinson to give him a run in the team.

He said: "I was very impressed with his performance, considering I don’t particularly rate him that highly. He sparked some life into the side and never stopped running which is something we really lack as a team.

"I think he should definitely be used more by Parkinson, as he offered more than the other strikers at the club have, with his movement off the ball, his height and constant hassling.

"To add to this he actually got into a position to score a goal whereas our other strikers seem to never be in those positions, no matter what the service is like."

He added: "I would like to see him replace Will Grigg, I think he should be given the centre-forward role in until January to see if he is going to be good enough for the club in the future.

"We will still need another striker in January even if he proves he is good enough when given a long period in the first team."

Mbunga-Kimpioka's next chance to impress may come against Burton Albion tomorrow evening.
