'Excellent': Phil Smith's Sunderland player rating photos after Millwall draw - including three 8s
After a goalless first half, Lions defender Jake Cooper opened the scoring just before the hour mark after a corner.
The Black Cats then managed to equalise nine minutes from time when Alex Pritchard’s free-kick was converted by Dennis Cirkin.
Mowbray’s side will now prepare for next week’s FA Cup replay against Fulham.
Here’s how Phil Smith rated the Sunderland players against Millwall:
1. Anthony Patterson - 6
Got away with a poor attempt to save Flemming’s effort before the offside flag was eventually raised following Honeyman’s follow-up goal. Made an amazing save from Honeyman moments before the goal. 6 Photo: Martin Swinney
2. Trai Hume - 7
Had an excellent first half as his side laboured, crunching into challenge after challenge. A little quieter after the break. 7 Photo: Frank Reid
3. Daniel Ballard - 8
Won lots of headers and stepped out with the ball when he could. Probably Sunderland’s best performer on a difficult afternoon - stood firm. 8 Photo: Frank Reid
4. Danny Batth - 8
A performance of real heart like Ballard alongside him, winning countless headers in his own box to just about, just about keep Millwall at bay. 8 Photo: Frank Reid
