Many of the Sunderland fans who have been discussing this classic goal on social media lately have been sharing some positive memories of this strike.
As stated by the BBC in their post-match report from this game, Edwards’ “stunning winner” took the Black Cats “to the top of the Championship” back in April 2007.
Chronicle Live explained the significance of this classic strike in an article that was published in July 2019.

Still makes my hairs stand on end. Don’t think it ever won’t do that. Absolutely brilliant. And I still laugh at that kids shellsuit every time I watch it 🙂

Chris Maguire was seen watching this strike time and again before he made his move to the SOL and now try’s to emulate it every time the lads play at home.
