The Journal
|September 25, 2025
GRAEME Murty reflected on the learning that his side can take from Sunderland U21s' 4-0 defeat to Boston United on Tuesday.
The lead coach watched on as an own goal from Ben Kindon and strikes from Lenell John-Lewis, Jordan Cropper and Kieran Donnelly sealed the victory for the hosts, as Sunderland lost for the first time in this season's National League Cup.
