Sunderland's first team enjoy snowball fight with academy players after being ambushed on their way to training

After picking up just their second win of the Championship season last weekend, Sunderland's first team were in buoyant mood as they trained on Thursday.

Sunderland overcame Burton Albion 2-0 last Saturday to lift them off the bottom of the table and give Chris Coleman his first win as manager of the Black Cats.

And it came as no surprise that the mood in the camp was very high as they played around in the snowy conditions up north on Thursday afternoon.
