Sunderland came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw at Ipswich Town.

The Black Cats were second best in the first half and fell behind on the stroke of half-time following James Norwood’s headed opener.

Nathan Broadhead drew Sunderland level five minutes after the interval, though, when he produced a neat finish following Dan Neil’s fine pass.

16’ Hoffmann down

There’s a pause in play as Hoffmann goes to ground and needs some treatment.

The Sunderland goalkeeper is back on his feet now.

10’ Big chance for Ipswich

The hosts have started the brighter here and appear to have matched Sunderland up with the back three and wing-backs system.

They should be ahead after Burns’ cross from the right found Penny but the latter sent his shot from close range over the bar.
