Danny Welbeck says he vividly remembers his first appearance against Chelsea.
The forward spent the 2010/11 season on loan at Sunderland and scored his first goal for the Wearside team in a surprise 3-0 victory at Stamford Bridge.
“I remember we went there with nobody expecting us to pull off that result,” Welbeck told the official matchday programme. “We had a good team at Sunderland, everyone fought for each other and we ended up with a special win.
"I got a third at the end, intercepting a back pass towards Petr Cech"
“Nedum Onuoha scored a great first goal, dribbling around three or four players and then Asamoah Gyan made it two and I got a third at the end, intercepting a back pass towards Petr Cech.
“Not many people forget Bolo Zenden’s dance either. He joined in with Gyan and it’s one of those things that he should never have done! I wouldn’t have even tried to join in with him but Bolo went for it.
“I’m still in contact with him now but I try not to mention the dance - otherwise he might not text back!”
