Sunderland came from behind to beat QPR 3-1 at Loftus Road – but how did each player fare for Tony Mowbray’s side?
The Black Cats fell a goal down in the 12th minute when Kenneth Paal’s low effort beat goalkeeper Anthony Patterson from the edge of the box.
QPR were then reduced to 10 men after former Sunderland midfielder Jack Colback was shown a straight red card for a foul on Jobe Bellingham.
The visitors drew level on the stroke of half-time when Jack Clarke’s effort deflected in off QPR defender Steve Cook – a goal which turned the momentum.
Dan Ballard then put Sunderland in the 57th minute, before Abdoullah Ba added a third nine minutes from time.
Here’s how Phil Smith rated the Sunderland players at Loftus Road:
13. Patrick Roberts (sub) - 7
Played inside of his usual wing role as Ba had the freedom to drive past him. Handled the ball well for the most part and played a big part in the crucial Ballard goal just after half time. 7 Photo: Frank Reid
14. Adil Aouchiche (sub) - 7
Assisted Ba and produced a hugely impressive debut. Picked up pockets of space well and seemed immediately to be on Pritchard’s wavelength. Impressive start. 7 Photo: SEBASTIEN SALOM-GOMIS
15. Hemir (sub) - 6
Showed some good touches but missed a big late chance to score when meeting Pritchard’s cross. 6 Photo: Frank Reid
