🐈‍⬛ Brian Brobbey earns cult hero status with hat-trick vs Man City

🐈‍⬛ Brian Brobbey earns cult hero status with hat-trick vs Man City Sunderland's recent resurgence as a force to be reckoned with in the Premier League has been one of the feel-good stories in the top flight of English football. Under Regis Le Bris, the club has become one of the toughest outfits to come up against, and with Brian Brobbey impressively leading the line, few will fancy 90 minutes against the Black Cats. And against Manchester City this afternoon, the Dutch international and former Ajax standout is putting together a one-off performance to remember, one week after he made himself out to be a nuisance against Arsenal at the Stadium of Light. In doing so, Brobbey now sits alongside a handful of memorable figures and one outright club icon, becoming just the fifth Sunderland player to score a Premier League hat-trick, joining Kevin Phillips (two), Darren Bent, Jermain Defoe, and Adam Johnson. Brobbey is also the first player to hit City on three occasions in a single match since Jamie Vardy back in September 2020, signaling his arrival as a true goal threat in the league. And with the transfer market now being the Wild West that it has become, Brobbey may well become the next big summer signing should this run of form continue.
