Patterson reaches milestone 50 clean sheets for Sunderland
Sunderland's 1-0 win at West Brom marked Anthony Patterson's 50th clean sheet for the club.
The goalkeeper has made 159 appearances for the Black Cats having come through their academy.
He has previously come under criticism this season when it comes to commanding his box and coming out to catch crosses but boasts a clean sheet every 3.18 games.
Talking to BBC Radio Newcastle's Nick Barnes after reaching the milestone at The Hawthorns, Patterson said: "I didn't have a great deal to do but it shows the character of the lads who dug in really well and defended with their hearts on their sleeves to keep the ball away from me, which I'm thankful for.
