'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:
Mowbray’s side will now prepare for next week’s FA Cup replay against Fulham.
5. Aji Alese - 6
Competed tenaciously and won his fair share of headers before being withdrawn as Mowbray looked to get a bit more energy and attacking intent in the latter stages. 6 Photo: Frank Reid
6. Dan Neil - 6
Did well late on to make some big interceptions, but Millwall’s excellent press meant he was less influential in possession than usual. 6 Photo: Martin Swinney
7. Edouard Michut - 6
One or two moments where he turned excellently away from danger and did put a real shift in, but was quiet through the second half in particular. 6 Photo: Frank Reid
8. Patrick Roberts - 6
Produced a big physical output and nearly scored a brilliant equaliser, though the better option may have been to pass. Kept going throughout. 6 Photo: Martin Swinney
