Sunderland were held to a frustrating goalless draw against 10-man Swansea at the Swansea.com Stadium.
Swansea were reduced to ten men in the 30th minute when Arsenal loanee Charlie Patino was shown a second yellow card for a foul on Pierre Ekwah.
Despite the numerical advantage the Black Cats conceded a penalty on the stroke of half-time, yet Anthony Patterson saved Jamal Lowe’s spot kick.

65’ Close
Sunderland need to start moving the ball a bit quicker here.
They did go close there as Roberts cut in from the right and swung a cross into the box, yet Hemir couldn’t quite reach it.
60’ Offensive changes
Sunderland are now playing with a back three of O’Nien, Ballard and Hume.
Roberts and Clarke are still on the flanks with Pritchard and Dack supporting Hemir.
52’ Ballard booked
Ballard is shown a yellow card after stopping Lowe’s run near the halfway line.
That’s the defender’s fifth yellow card of the season, meaning he’ll be suspended for next week’s match against Birmingham.
50’ Fulton booked
More boos from the home fans after Fulton was breaking forward but the move was pulled back as the Swansea player caught Ballard.
Swansea boss Michael Duff has also been booked for his protests.
