Ex-England striker joins Sunderland fans as Callum Wilson jeered and new Milan chant debuts at Brentford | OneFootball

According to Sunderland Echo, former Sunderland striker Fraizer Campbell joined the travelling support at Brentford. Régis Le Bris’s side arrived aiming to strengthen their early Premier League position.

They began the afternoon 11th with three points from two games. Wilson Isidor’s late strike had sealed a 1-0 win over Fulham after an opening-day defeat at Ipswich Town.

Sunderland have won 10 of the past 21 meetings with Brentford. They came from behind to win at the Stadium of Light last season, Wilson Isidor scoring in stoppage time, but lost 3-0 on their previous visit in January.

Le Bris made one change, handing Kevin Danso his debut for Trai Hume and switching to a back five with Thomas Meunier and Reinildo at wing-back.

Malick Fofana and Dayann Methalie were on the bench, Methalie back from suspension. Romaine Mundle and Habib Diarra were injured, with Diarra out for six to eight weeks. Chemsdine Talbi was absent amid speculation over his future.

Dan Ballard thought he had put Sunderland ahead with a crisp left-footed volley into the bottom corner, only for VAR to intervene.

Noah Sadiki laughed after his powerful first-half effort was blocked by team-mate Brian Brobbey. The away end then aired a new 'Mackems in Milan' chant, marking the forthcoming Europa League trip to AC Milan at San Siro.

With four minutes of normal time left, former Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson replaced Mikkel Damsgaard and was jeered by the visiting support.
