Sunderland boss Gus Poyet says Danny Graham has played his way back into the first team.
Poyet is delighted with what he's seeing from the striker.
"His loan to Wolves (at the end of 2014) was spectacular for us. He went there, and came back totally different. He was very sharp, match fit, which can be difficult to achieve when you're only playing for the under-21s, and properly ready to play.
"He put himself into contention, and I thought, 'He looks good - if I get a chance, I would like to see him for 15 or 20 minutes in a game'. He has done perfect for us. He has a big chance now. If, at any stage, anyone goes a little bit to sleep, he's going to be in. I hadn't thought about it being against his former club, but it sometimes works that a player scores against his former side."
