Hey, at Gooch's age N'Golo Kante was playing in the third division too! But, of course, think about how many tens of thousands of 22/23 year olds have played at this level historically and not made it to a higher level.
Short interview: Lynden Gooch is loving every second of life at Sunderland under Jack Ross’ management.

1025736820053684224 is not a valid tweet id He's going to turn into a legend at Sunderland if he keeps this up.
He's going to do well. He'd better, because for large parts of the match he was the primary attacking threat - it was get it wide to Gooch and see if he can make something happen. He won 3 or 4 free kicks in dangerous areas, crossing was inconsistent. He was almost the only threat in the first half, Sunderland brought Jerome Sinclair on as a target at halftime and that made the attack much more balanced, and much more dangerous. Goal was a header off a ball from Oviedo. Strange thing was Gooch had a great chance just seconds before - and he pretty much swung and missed.

62' On comes @lyndengooch46. @swfc have come into the tie a little more in the last few minutes. For the first time this half they are starting to control proceedings and ask questions of the Lads, as @JackBaldwin_6 is forced to head off his line.🔴⚪️ 0-1 🦉 pic.twitter.com/JICLd5FyCb— Sunderland AFC (@SunderlandAFC) August 16, 2018 They lost 2-0 and exit the competition.
Doubt they'll care too much. Promotion is the be-all-and-end-all for Sunderland this season, with the FA Cup to spice things up, as can be seen from the weakened side they put out. The fans certainly won't; there were no more than 10,000 of them in a +40,000-seater stadium. Really weird atmosphere for a North-East club
