Earns Premier League start
Methalie generated one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 5-3 defeat to Manchester City. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 8th minute.
Analysis: Methalie was finally introduced to the Premier League playing field, with the defender starting and playing 90 minutes at left-back. He was handed a tough task against the league-leading Manchester City squad, allowing five goals while recording onwards tackle won and two clearances. He would've hoped for a better debut, likely to return to a bench role now.
Makes debut in Carabao Cup
Methalie logged 65 minutes on his Sunderland debut in Tuesday's 1-0 Carabao Cup victory over Hull City.
Analysis: Methalie was handed his first opportunity for Sunderland as manager Regis Le Bris made wholesale changes to his starting XI for the cup tie. The defender helped Sunderland keep a clean sheet during his 65 minutes on the pitch before the more experienced Thomas Meunier took over. The debut represents an encouraging first step as Methalie looks to establish himself within the first-team rotation, though he is likely to remain behind Sunderland's more established defensive options for regular Premier League minutes.
