"Morgan Rogers has taken aim at newly-promoted Sunderland's social media output after the Villans were held to a 1-1 draw with ten-man Sunderland at the Stadium of Light over the weekend. Rogers called into question the decision to seemingly glorify a strong tackle made by Black Cats defender Trai Hume. The England international was not injured by the challenge but did take a considerable tumble as a result of the Northern Irishman's firm intervention to win the ball."
"Sunderland defender Hume is renowned for his strong tackling displays and has developed a cult reputation among the club's fans for this particular aspect of his game. Supporters of the home side championed the sliding challenge during the game as well as after the final whistle when the offending clip resurfaced on social media, courtesy of the Black Cats' official channels. 'Great message to send out...dangerous tackles getting highlight reels', the Villa man wrote on Instagram whilst resharing a clip of Hume's tackle, which upended Rogers."
