Sunderland have been handed a timely boost ahead of their top-of-the-table clash with Barnsley tomorrow evening.

Max Power, who received his third red card in eight matches this season at the weekend has seen his sending off overturned after an appeal.

Jack Ross learned the new late on Monday afternoon ahead of his continued preparations for the home fixture against their promotion rivals.

It was a contentious decision in with the Black Cats going two goals down to Walsall after Power’s dismissal before a stunning comeback to earn a point on the road.

Ill-discipline has been an issue for the former Wigan man this term, and that reputation preceded him after his challenge at the weekend.

But after the League One club appealed, the outcome of the tackle was downgraded, and the red card was rescinded.

The news saw plenty of Sunderland supporters react on social media to the announcement of the decision.

With that said, here is what the Black Cats’ fans had to say on the matter.
