Egyptian winger Ahmed Elmohamady opens his Sunderland account in Saturday’s Premier League game against West Bromwich Albion

Ahmed Elmohamady has scored his maiden Sunderland goal in their Premier League game at home to West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.

West Bromwich were leading 2-1 in a frantic first-half when a header by Elmohamady brought Sunderland level in the 26th minute, as he notched his first goal since joining the Black Cats in the summer of 2010.

The Egyptian international smashed a powerful header home after connecting with a cross from Nicklas Bendtner.

James Morrison beat defender Wes Brown to head home West Brom's opener after just four minutes and the visitors were 2-0 up one minute later when Shane Long headed in Chris Brunt's curling free kick.

Bendtner scored his first goal for Sunderland since his move from Arsenal in the 24th from a deflected shot. The Denmark striker then crossed for Elmohamady to head in the equalizer two minutes later.

Sunderland, who made a poor start to the season, lie 14th in the 20-team table with six points from seven games.
