Mukiele Masterclass Earns Sunderland Star Premier League Player of the Week Honours

Sunderland defender Nordi Mukiele has been named Flashscore’s Premier League Player of the Week following a commanding performance in the Black Cats’ 2–0 victory over Wolves.

The French full-back earned a 9.0 player rating on Flashscore — the highest of the match — capping off another impressive outing since his summer move from Paris Saint-Germain.

Mukiele also marked a personal milestone, scoring his first Sunderland goal at the Stadium of Light. His well-taken strike rounded off a slick team move and set the tone for a dominant home display.

Beyond his goal, Mukiele showcased his all-round ability on both ends of the pitch. He consistently caused problems for Wolves with his long throws, while delivering a rock-solid defensive performance — winning 14 duels and making eight clearances to help preserve Sunderland’s clean sheet.

Currently sitting seventh in the Premier League, Sunderland will look to continue their strong run of form when they travel to face Chelsea in the capital on Saturday.
