James Copley’s Sunderland U21 ratings after 4-2 win as Dinsdale stars | OneFootball

Sunderland U21s recorded a second successive home victory, beating Ipswich Town 4-2 in Premier League 2. Charlie Dinsdale produced the standout display for the young Black Cats.

According to Sunderland Echo, the match was followed by player ratings assessing individual performances. Dinsdale registered a goal and three assists, with Trey Ogunsuyi, Felix Scott and Kay Munyakazi also on the scoresheet.

Goalkeeper Joe Cowan was composed with the ball and never shirked playing out. He made two excellent second-half saves, including one to deny Jokubas Maizionis from a corner, though greater command of his area could come with age and experience.

Right-back Jenson Jones impressed before the interval, linking well with Dinsdale down the flank. As pressure increased after the break, he stayed competitive throughout.

Aji Alese defended firmly, made key blocks and marshalled the back line with assurance. He used possession confidently and continued building valuable minutes after recent injury issues.

Luke Bell produced a couple of important first-half blocks and looked solid on his return from injury. He played 45 minutes before being withdrawn at half-time.
