Sunderland’s social media manager had an unforgettable afternoon

It's not all that long ago that Sunderland finished in the top half of the Premier League table.

But, for fans of the Black Cats, that will feel a lifetime away as they are currently staring relegation to League One right in the face. Saturday proved that there is some fight left in the players yet, however, as Chris Coleman's side came from 3-0 down against Bristol City to claim a crucial point. It looked, for all the world, that Sunderland would be condemned to a third consecutive defeat when Robins defender Aden Flint found the net after five minutes and a quickfire double courtesy of Famara Diedhiou left the visitors with it all to do at the break. https://twitter.com/SunderlandAFC/status/962352498160930817?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.joe.co.uk%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D162211%26action%3Dedit The situation was looking so hopeless that even the club's social media manager lost patience and, after noting that several travelling fans had already begun making their way out of the stadium before half-time, it was suggested that leaving early was entirely understandable. The below tweet appeared on the club's official Twitter feed but, someone must have had a word, as it was quickly deleted.     Well we bet those who left Ashton Gate before the break, as well as the person who tweeted the above, all feel rather silly right now as the Black Cats pulled off a comeback of monumental proportions to put them within two points of safety. There was plenty of good fortune involved in the fightback as two own goals from the hosts sandwiched an Aiden McGeady finish but the slice of luck won't bother those travelling fans who stayed inside the stadium a jot. After likely receiving a dressing-down for the brutally honest tweet before the break, the club's social media team definitely deserve some plaudits for what they decided to christen the comeback. https://twitter.com/SunderlandAFC/status/962369415013650432
