A "blitzed" Sunderland fan has allegedly defecated in the Stadium of Light stands during the Championship side's home match with Reading.

An image on social media shows a man sitting on his seat with his trousers down to his ankles as those around wearing looks of disbelief.

Black Cats supporters took to a fan forum after Saturday's 3-1 defeat to discuss the incident, which reportedly caused a nearby supporter to be sick.

Going by the name of shieldsdan86, the forum member wrote: "Today he dropped his pants to his ankles, squatted and curled one out.

"Everyone around him parted, he pulled his pants back up and just stood there.

"Then the coppers came up and took him away. A bairn in the row in front saw the shit and started gagging before spewing into our row!"

Sunderland currently sit second from bottom in the Championship table.
