Now Callum Patterson has had an effort saved by Sunderland keeper Patterson after Valentin’s cross on the right.
Sunderland then went up the other end before Roberts took the ball around Vasquez but couldn’t quite pick out Burstow in the box from a tight angle.
53’ Paterson punches the ball away
More frustration for the home side after a loose pass was heading out of play and Callum Paterson punched it away on the right flank.
