Sunderland were held to yet another Championship draw on Saturday when Millwall denied them the chance to bank their first win of the month. Thanks to a stoppage time goal from Femi Azeez, the Black Cats were forced to settle for their fourth consecutive draw, despite holding a 1-0 lead for more than 80 minutes at The Den.
Sunderland have not picked up a full three points since their 2-0 win over Oxford United on October 26th. As a result of some surprise results recently, the battle for automatic promotion and the Championship is closer than before. Leeds United, Sunderland and Sheffield United are currently all tied on 32 points each, with just goal difference separating them.
