Black Cats looking for answers over ref's call

CLUB WANT CLARITY OVER PEN CLAIM

- By CLIVE YOULTON Football writer

REFEREES’ chief Howard Webb could be making a visit to Sunderland to provide clarification over a contentious moment in the team’s 1-1 draw with Everton.

The visitors went a goal ahead and missed a glorious chance to make it 2-0 through Thierno Barry.

Stern words from head coach Regis Le Bris sparked Sunderland into life in the second half and the Black Cats were the side more likely to claim victory.

That may well have been the case if not for a contentious refereeing call from Thomas Bramall, who gave Everton a reprieve when the ball struck Michael Keane on the hand fairly late on, from Noah Sadiki’s cross.
