At Sunderland

On 3 July 2013, Mannone signed a two-year contract with Sunderland , for an undisclosed fee. [ 26 ] Mannone started both of Sunderland's matches in the Premier League Asia Trophy in pre-season, but Keiren Westwood was preferred to him for the opening league game of the season against Fulham. After featuring in the League Cup, Mannone made his league debut for the Black Cats in a 1–0 loss at Hull, replacing the injured Westwood. Mannone retained his place for a 2–1 cup win over Southampton, and made his first league start in a 1–0 home win over Manchester City . [ 27 ] In the second leg of the semi-final tie against Manchester United in the League Cup, Mannone saved two penalties in the penalty shoot out at the end of the extra time that helped Sunderland qualify for the final at Wembley against Manchester City. [ 28 ] On 22 April 2014, Mannone was named the Sunderland Supporters' Player of the Year at a special presentation night at the Stadium of Light. [ 29 ] On 29 May 2014, he was named the club's Player of the Year. [ 30 ] Mannone began the 2014–15 season as first choice, but after a series of poor performances culminating in an 8–0 loss at Southampton and a 2–0 home defeat at Arsenal the following week he was dropped in favour of Costel Pantilimon . [ 31 ] Pantilimon remained first choice for the rest of the season, with Mannone only featuring in cup games and in a 3–1 defeat at Chelsea on the final day. On 26 December 2015, Mannone started ahead of Pantilimon in a 4–1 defeat at Manchester City. He retained his place in the following match, a 1–0 home defeat to Liverpool, and was praised by manager Sam Allardyce after the game. [ 32 ] After Pantilimon was transferred to Watford in January 2016, Mannone remained first choice over Jordan Pickford for the rest of the season, as Sunderland fought an ultimately successful battle against relegation, with their safety eventually being confirmed with a 3–0 home victory over Everton on 11 May 2016. [ 33 ] On 4 July 2016 — Wikipedia
