Sunderland’s under-21s match against Wolves was called off after 24 minutes due to mist at Eppleton CW.

The Premier League Cup match began in difficult conditions after a decision was made to start at the scheduled 7pm kick-off time.

Sunderland then took the lead with three minutes on the clock after Ethan Kachosa was fouled in the penalty area and Caden Kelly converted from the spot.
