Huddersfield Town 1 Sunderland 0: Highlights after Matty Pearson goal and Patrick Roberts injury blow

Sunderland's narrow formation should provide opportunities for their full-backs to get forward.

Hume is just starting to get into some more advanced positions and played a neat forward pass to Rusyn there, before the forward's cross went astray.

That was the best chance of the half so far.

Ballard was caught in possession by Thomas, who then charged down the left and cut the ball back for Wiles inside the Sunderland box. O'Nien made an excellent block before Kasumu sent the rebound over the bar.

Clarke's cross from the right is over hit and goes out of play. Neither side have created many clear-cut chances so far.

Sunderland just started to apply a bit more pressure there as Ekwah's effort was deflected wide for a corner.

Huddersfield then broke forward on the counter attack but Hume was well placed to cut out Thomas' sweeping pass.

O'Nien is shown the first booking of the match after blocking Kasumu's run on the edge of Sunderland's box.

The defender is now on nine yellow cards this season and is one away from a two-match suspension.

Huddersfield took the free-kick short before Rudoni's low shot was parried away by Patterson.

The ball fell straight to Pearson who converted from close range.

1-0.

Another cross from Hume is collected by the goalkeeper, with only Rusyn in the box.

Sunderland have struggled to cause many problems in the final third so far.

One minute added on.

Neil's long-range effort from distance is saved after a short Sunderland corner.
