Sunderland were beaten 1-0 by Norwich at Carrow Road in the Championship.

After a goalless first half, Norwich striker Josh Sargent scored the winner nine minutes from time. It means Sunderland have suffered four consecutive defeats and slipped further away from the Championship play-off places.

Here's how the game played out:

Norwich vs Sunderland

What to make of those sides

So Mike Dodds has made two changes to his Sunderland side following last weekend's defeat against Swansea.

Luis Hemir makes his first senior start since the opening day of the season, while Romaine Mundle is also recalled to the starting XI. Abdoullah Ba and Nazariy Rusyn drop to the bench.

Norwich have made one change to their side following a 1-1 draw at Blackburn last weekend, with Ashley Barnes replacing the injured Marcelino Nunez.

2' How Sunderland have started

Sunderland have reverted to a back four with Hume and Hjelde as the full-backs.

Styles is on the right in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Mundle on the left.

6' Sunderland enjoying some early possession

Sunderland have seen more of the ball so far, passing out from the back and stringing a few passes together.

They just have to be careful they don't get caught inside their own half.

11' Norwich imposing themselves more

Norwich are seeing more of the ball now and just won the first corner of the match.

Sara's in-swinging delivery was cleared by Neil at the front post.

13' Ekwah shot saved

Hemir and Mundle did well to force a mistake from Gibson and win a corner there.

Sunderland played the ball short before passing it to Ekwah on the edge of the box. The midfielder's effort was comfortably held by Gunn.

15' Important block from Seelt

That was close.

Stacey's cross from the right was turned away by Hume but the ball dropped straight to Sargent. The striker's effort hit Seelt and went behind for a corner.

Hjelde then headed away the following cross before Giannoulis fired an effort wide from the edge of the box.

It's now chucking it down with rain at Carrow Road.

Mundle did well to win a free-kick on the left there after a foul by McLean.

Ekwah took the free-kick but curled his effort over the crossbar from distance.

Neither side have tested the opposition's keeper yet.

25' What a save from Patterson

It wouldn't have counted but that was an excellent save from Patterson to tip Sainz's shot over the bar after a Norwich corner.

The referee had already given a free-kick for a push on O'Nien inside the Sunderland box.
