Gooch did well to track Benson’s run across goal and block the winger’s effort to concede a corner.

The shot was straight at the keeper but came through a crowd of bodies .

The game has just started to open up a bit more, allowing Clarke to win a corner for Sunderland on the left.

34’ Burnley penalty appeal
