48’ Chance
Sunderland are really trying to make this extra man count, with Roberts playing in a central position, leaving just O’Nien and Ballard back against Armstrong when the visitors are in possession.
Pritchard’s in-swinging corner was met by Ballard there but the defender couldn’t make it count.
45+8’ GOOOOOAAAALLLL!!! (Cook, own goal)
Sunderland are level!
Clarke cut in from the left and fired a shot at goal. The effort was on target but took a huge deflection off Cook, which diverted the ball past Begovic.
1-1.
45+4’ Over from Pritchard
That sums up Sunderland’s first half as Pritchard fires a long-range effort well over the bar.
45+1’ Ba cross goes out
More frustration for Sunderland after Ba cut in from the right and tried to pick out Bellingham with a cross.
The ball went out of play.
