48’ Patterson collides with Watmore
Watmore was almost sent through on goal there after a ball over the top saw the forward run past Ballard.
Patterson then collided with the forward inside the Sunderland box, yet it looked like the ball had already gone.
52’ Hume booked
Hume is booked for bringing down Watmore after Sunderland lost possession and the hosts looked to break on the counter attack.
Now Honeyman is down after a clash of heads with Alese.
59’ Big save from Patterson
He may have got away with an error in the first half but Patterson has just made an excellent to deny Honeyman.
60 Goal Millwall (Cooper)
From the following corner Millwall have scored.
Cooper was on the ground as he flicked a shot towards goal which went in off the post.
Big task for Sunderland now.
72’ Millwall looking comfortable
Sunderland are still seeing more of the ball but haven’t really posed much of a threat in this second half.
73’ Roberts chance
That was a fine run from Roberts through the middle of the pitch, before the playmaker’s shot was blocked by Cresswell inside the Millwall box.
Roberts could have perhaps played in Gelhardt to the left of him though.
Cresswell celebrated the block like a goal.
