Danny Welbeck scored the winner as Sunderland leapfrogged Bolton into sixth place with a hard-earned win.

Welbeck headed home his fifth goal in six games after Jussi Jaaskelainen had denied a Darren Bent shot.

Sunderland keeper Craig Gordon produced a remarkable one-handed save to deny Zat Knight a close-range equaliser.

Welbeck also struck the outside of the post for the home side, while Bolton threatened late on through Gary Cahill and substitute Ivan Klasnic.

Surprised to see Cattermole got a yellow card

 

[safcrhys.]

Best save I've ever seen. For some reason I watched it on the tele at home despite having a season card at the time, can't remember why.

 

[nelford_safc]

Gordon, Mensah, Henderson, Gyan, Welbeck, Bent. Feels like it never happened

Edit; Mig, Zenden and Steed on the bench

Surprised to see Cattermole got a yellow card

Surprised to see Mensah going off injured after 21 minutes

 

[Kevsgoldenboot]

What an attacking three we had. Great times

 

[WildinHetton]

Won save of the season? As said above to look at the quality in the 18 and compare to now breaks your heart.

 

[Baccyboozenbullets]

Gordon's save was voted the greatest in Premier League history? Might be rang?

 

[samaistonsrightfoot]

Best save I’ve ever seen live. Can’t remember much being made of it at the time.

 

[Junior Birdman]

Poor squad really. I mean, imagine only having Zenden to come on to replace Gyan.

 

[flanny1]

As mentioned Gordon’s save was probably the best I’ve ever seen. To turn the ball over the bar at such close range seems to defy all common sense.

Watched it with Podgy in Perth in the middle of the Ashes tour. Podgy being Podgy had the entire bar eating out of his hand: local Aussies and bourgeois Barmy Army visitors.

RIP lad: a true character and as good a Sunderland fan as you will ever meet.

One of the coldest games I can remember. Absolutely freezing.

Decent side that potentially could have qualified for Europe, but pie face dismantled it. Cheers Steve.

I thought it was pasty face?
