Barnsley see off sorry Sunderland

Barnsley secured their second Sky Bet Championship win of the season as they comfortably beat Sunderland 3-0 at Oakwell.
An Ike Ugbo goal and strikes from Harvey Barnes and George Moncur were the least Barnsley deserved in a convincing win over a lacklustre visiting side.
Sunderland were very nearly given a fortuitous start to the game in the fourth minute when George Honeyman and Lewis Grabban found themselves two-on-one against Adam Jackson. Honeyman's cross was almost diverted into his own net by Jackson.
Brad Potts went close for Barnsley in the 12th minute when Lamine Kone failed to shepherd the ball out of the play but his effort was well wide of the goal.
