Burnley then went up the other end before Tella’s cross was held by Patterson.
74’ Over from Benson
Another effort off target from Burnley after Benson cut in from the right and fired his shot over the bar while under pressure from Gooch.
78’ Batth blocks
Batth blocks Roberts’ low cross into the Sunderland box, before then heading Gudmundsson’s corner into the air.
Sunderland then managed to clear.
82’ Gooch is there again
Gooch has been excellent at left-back tonight.
The Sunderland man is on hand again to stop Benson’s effort from inside the box after Gudmundsson’s cross from the left.
84’ CLARKE SCORES! - BUT IT’S OFFSIDE
The away fans thought their side had taken the lead after Clarke played a one-two with Amad from a short corner before hitting a low shot into the Burnley net.
Ba was stood in front of the keeper in an offside position, though, and the goal was ruled out.
