Nazariy Rusyn, Dan Ballard suspension and yellow cards: What Sunderland fans are saying after Swansea draw

Sunderland were held to a frustrating goalless draw against 10-man Swansea – and fans have been reacting on social media.

The hosts were reduced to ten men in the 30^th minute when Arsenal loanee Charlie Patino was shown a second yellow card for a foul on Pierre Ekwah.

Despite the numerical advantage, Sunderland conceded a penalty on the stroke of half-time, with Anthony Patterson saving Jamal Lowe’s spot kick.

Yet, while Sunderland dominated possession, Tony Mowbray’s side were unable to find a breakthrough, while Luke O’Nien and Dan Ballard were both booked, meaning they’ll miss next week’s match against Birmingham after picking up five yellow cards this season.

Here’s how some fans reacted to the result:

@nicholaswilso11: When Ballard was on a yellow was he struggling when he came off? I don’t know why you wouldn’t take O’Nien off and leave Ballard on for a set-piece threat. Now both cbs are suspended

@DazN95: Gifted an extra man advantage & we still can’t produce. Aouchiche would’ve been a good shout to bring on in this game, even Burstow. It’s not a defeat which is great but we are going to fall short towards the end of the season and it’s likely this game that’ll have cost us
