Sunderland's acting captain, though, pulled one back for the Black Cats in the second half after heading home a free-kick from Pierre Ekwah. Mike Dodds' side pushed for an equaliser towards the end of the Championship clash but couldn't find one.

Taking to social media after the game, O'Nien referenced his mistake for Swansea City's second goal and thanked Sunderland fans for their support. On Instagram, O'Nien posted: "Owed the team a goal after my error for the 2nd. We learn from it and we start the new week better and wiser than the last. Thanks for support once again."

Sunderland are next in Championship action against Norwich City away from home.
