The Black Cats fell a goal down when Hakeem Odoffin opened the scoring with a neat finish in the 20th minute, yet Tony Mowbray’s side reacted well, drawing level courtesy of Jobe Bellingham’s header two minutes later.
Bellingham then scored again shortly after half-time, converting from inside the box after he was set up by Bradley Dack.
Here, though, we take a look at the best photos of Sunderland fans throughout the day courtesy of Chris Fryatt.
