The cards for fouls on Jack Clarke are stacking up now.

Liam Palmer drags the Sunderland livewire to the ground.

Sunderland winger Jack Clarke is one of the absolute stand-out players at this level.

He's been linked with a move this month and this performance won't have done much to make interested parties think twice.

Di'Shon Bernard is booked for just taking him out on the halfway line.

Wednesday striker Michael Smith is briefly in behind from James Beadle's long ball forward but the home side sprint back to smuggles the ball behind for a corner.

The cross in is headed away but the Owls pick up the loose ball, only to lose it again.

Can the 19-year-old build on this two-goal salvo for the rest of the season?

Couple of subs from Sunderland now.

Two-goal Eliezer Mayenda wont forget today in a hurry with his first goals for the club.

There's to be no hat-trick though as he makes way for Nazariy Rusyn and 17-year-old Chris Rigg leaves the field to be replaced by Adil Aouchiche.

Great ovation for both players.

We've got to be reaching the "ole!" stage now, surely.

Sunderland keep the ball for a good 90 seconds or so and nearly open the Owls up down the right.

This time James Beadle is able to cut out Patrick Roberts' low cross.

The home side are yet to go to their bench this afternoon.

You'd imagine those subs are itching to get on and get a piece of this action.

A set-piece to open the scoring - where have we seen that before?

Ryan Graydon gets his head on the corner-kick delivery at the near-post. Too good for Notts goalkeeper Alex Bass.

Notts County have led in the possession stats but Fleetwood gain their reward for standing their ground.

Final two changes for the away side.

Max Lowe and Jamal Lowe (not related) are off and Marvin Johnson and Ike Ugbo are on.

Patrick Roberts has had a great game.

He’s turned Sunderland inside out.

Patrick Roberts shoots wide for the third time this afternoon.

The winger pirouettes inside the area and curls an effort wide with his left foot.

It's not as close as his previous two goes but the Sunderland winger fancies one today and I wouldn't back against him getting it.

Sam Robinson: Complete coincidence that our final home game of last season and first of this are both against Sheff Wed - but based on the two performances it’s hard to believe that we had this entire team last year. Completely night and day and shows what an impact Regis le Bris has had already.

Sheffield Wednesday came away with a 2-0 win last May to secure their place in the Championship and pull off the great escape. Right now their travelling fans are plotting an early escape back down to South Yorkshire.

Sunderland are perfectly content to let the away side have the ball deep and move it around.

Wednesday have had more of the possession in this match but Black Cats goalkeeper Anthony Patterson hasn't had anything to do all afternoon.

Sunderland have been so clinical today.

They've had five shots on target.

I was just about to say that the last time Sunderland scored three goals in the first half of a game they went on to beat Southampton 5-0 last September. As Aidan says, that proved to be something of a false dawn...

Double change for the Owls.

Yan Valery and Josh Windass, who has had a torrid afternoon, are off and Pol Valentin and Liam Palmer are on.

Sheffield Wednesday won their first match of the season 4-0 last Sunday and they're well and truly on the other end of things today.

Boss Danny Rohl moves some counters around on his tactics board as he tries to mastermind a way back into this but surely this game is long gone.

It's looking like a fantastic start to the season for Sunderland under their new boss.

Sheffield Wednesday are all over the place but what a fantastic pass that was from Chris Rigg. Jack Clarke knowing that it is there, he just rolls it across to Eliezer Mayenda.

We said if Mayenda gets a goal, that will do him the world of good confidence-wise. He could get a hat-trick.
