Jones sees off Wolves fight

27 September 2009 17:26
Kenwyne Jones plundered a second-half double as Sunderland finally killed off Wolves 5-2 in a seven-goal thriller.[LNB]The Black Cats found themselves 2-0 up three minutes into the second half after first leading scorer Darren Bent and then Jones had converted penalties.[LNB]That was perhaps a little harsh on the visitors, and John Mensah's own goal and Kevin Doyle's strike inside six second-half minutes were little more than they deserved.[LNB]However, what Sunderland lacked in defence, where they were tormented at times by Doyle and Andy Keogh, they more than made up for in attack.[LNB]Jones restored their lead with 20 minutes remaining with a powerful long-range drive, and when Michael Turner powered home a 73rd-minute header, the home fans among a crowd of 37,566 were able to breathe a little more easily.[LNB]Wolves boss Mick McCarthy's misery was complete in injury time when defender Michael Mancienne deflected Bent's shot past keeper Wayne Hennessey to complete the scoring.
