Brian Brobbey News: Nets decisive goal

Brobbey scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 win against Crystal Palace.

Brobbey tucked a scooped shot from close range just under the bar Saturday to give Sunderland a second-half lead they would not relinquish in their 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace. Over his last five appearances (four starts), the forward has attempted eight shots (three on goal) and scored twice. After being named to the Sunderland starting XI just once in their first 12 league matches, Brobbey has been selected to the starting XI in seven of Sunderland's last eight league matchups.
