Broahead forces a great save from Cooper after running the length of the pitch with the ball! Sunderland still dangerous on the counter attack
Just under 20 minutes to go at the Stadium of Light. Sunderland lead 2-1. Can they hang on as Plymouth look for an equaliser?
Sunderland win another corner after decent work from Dajaku. Embleton to take it. Another penalty shout is waved away as Stewart is brought down. Dajaku then curls a shot wide. Pritchard comes off for Aiden O’Brien.
Plymouth are coming on strong as we enter the last 10 minutes of the match. They have a free-kick in Sunderland’s half. The Black Cats need to defend this!
