Cana enjoys his return to Wearside

Lorik Cana, against Arsenal for Sunderland in 2010

He made an emotional return to the Stadium of Light last weekend as he was witness to the sort of performance he very much embodied over the course of his career.

Cana was in the stands to watch Sunderland's 1-1 draw with Aston Villa as they played with 10 men for over an hour. But there were plenty of full-blooded challenges and bodies on the line, reminiscent of Cana's style.

Albania's all-time appearance maker was back on the pitch at the SoL for the first time since 2010 as he saluted the supporters at halftime.
