Wilson Isidor sends heartfelt message to Sunderland supporters after West Ham win
Wilson Isidor will continue to be adored after sending a heartfelt message to Sunderland supporters.
Regis Le Bris’ side delivered an embarrassing blow to West Ham, defeating them 3-0 at the Stadium of Light for the perfect Premier League return.
Dan Ballard was the hero for Sunderland, while Eliezer Mayenda and Isidor were also on the scoresheet.
Now, the Frenchman has shown he has learned the local lingo after his most recent message to the Wearside faithful.
Isidor delivers on day to remember for Sunderland
Isidor may be the biggest loser from Marc Guiu’s arrival, but he has staked his claim again on Wearside.
Indeed, the forward started on the bench as Le Bris opted to play Mayenda as the sole striker against the Hammers.
Despite a timid start, Mayenda made his opportunity count after scoring a superb header to put the Black Cats ahead.
As the North East club extended their lead in the second half to two goals, Isidor replaced the Spaniard in the 76th minute.
Then, with Graham Potter’s side throwing bodies forward, the Frenchman had his chance to land a blow on the break.
In the 92nd minute, Isidor found himself through on goal and finished coolly past the helpless Mads Hermansen.

What must Isidor do to secure place in Le Bris’ team?
Despite his goal, it is going to be tricky for Isidor to navigate a way into Le Bris’ starting 11.
However, all he can do is score goals when called upon, and like every player, if he keeps delivering, then he will give his manager a decision to make.
The Frenchman will likely receive starting opportunities in the cup competitions, which the Wearsiders will take less seriously.
With Guiu for company, the former Zenit man knows what he must do to regain a place in the Sunderland team.
