Darren Bent: "So we get beaten by Wigan and to make matters worse my mum gets racially abused by a Sunderland fan. I won't stand for that."

Bent labelled the abuse "an absolute disgrace" and warned: "The offender needs to hope I don't find out his name or who he is".

The matter has been reported to the police, with a club spokeswoman confirming to BBC Sport: "Sunderland are liaising with Northumbria Police to fully investigate this matter.

"Behaviour of this kind is totally unacceptable to our football club."
