Phil Parkinson’s side continued their fine form of late with the comprehensive win over the Chairboys, with another attacking display sending fans home happy. But who caught the eye for the Black Cats? Scroll down and click through the pages to see Phil Smith’s player ratings from the clash – and who he thought were the star men:
1. Jon McLaughlin
Barely had a save to make but nevertheless deserved credit for the reassuring presence he provided. Wycombe’s only threat was from set plays and he coped with ease. Distribution good, too. Made three superb stops late on to preserve the clean sheet. 8 Photo: FRANK REID
2. Alim Ozturk
Would have expected a more difficult afternoon given Wycombe’s normal threat but was in control throughout, dealing with set pieces well, snuffing out danger and keeping things ticking over in possession. 8 Photo: Frank Reid
3. Jordan Willis
Produced a superb assist for Denver Hume with one of a number of surging runs at the heart of the Wycombe defence. A brilliant first-half showing and coasted through a comfortable second period. 8 Photo: Frank Reid
4. Tom Flanagan
Unfortunate to have been forced off at the break with an injury. Had continued his good form, defending well and coming close to scoring when Ryan Allsop turned his effort onto the crossbar. 7 Photo: COPYRIGHT (C) FRANK REID 20187
