Moment part of Sunderland’s ceiling COLLAPSES bringing press conference to abrupt halt
SUNDERLAND reporters were given a fright when part of the ceiling collapsed during Regis Le Bris’ post-match press conference on Tuesday night.
The Black Cats had just drawn 1-1 with Bristol City at the Stadium of Light.
After the game, members of the press gathered to speak to Le Bris.
They were given a mighty fright, however, when a ceiling panel gave in.
According to Sunderland beat writer James Copley, the incident was caused by a leak upstairs.
A clip of the ceiling falling in subsequently did the rounds on social media.
“Is that the roof falling in on their promotion push?” one fan joked.
While a second quipped: “Just like their league form.”
Sunderland had fallen behind on 62 minutes via Luke McNally’s opener.
Patrick Roberts rescued a point with a 93rd minute equaliser.

The Black Cats are fourth in the Championship table having acquired 37 points from their opening 20 games.
Their form has stuttered in recent weeks, however, with Le Bris’ men having won just one of their last eight matches.
After the game, Le Bris praised his side’s resilience and claimed they were good value for their point.
He said: “Absolutely, I believe we deserved it.
“We started the match on the front foot with an excellent tempo.
“We executed our game plan with swift ball movement and tactical triangles, creating several opportunities.
“However, we lacked the necessary numbers in the box to capitalise on our crosses.”
Sunderland will return to action this Saturday with a trip to Swansea.
