9. RW - Chemsdine Talbi
A very steady Premier League debut. Some dangerous drives and made good decisions in possession, assisting Isidor late on. 7 | Photo by Chris Fryatt.
10. LW - Simon Adingra
Massive part in the second goal. Good harrying and then dribbling to win a corner, then a gorgeous cross for Ballard to head home. Looked likely and delivered quality when Sunderland needed it. 7 | Photo by Chris Fryatt
11. ST - Eliezer Mayenda
Lovely early flick round the corner almost found Diarra for an opener. Ran the channels well and took his moment when it came, nodding back across goal into the far corner. What a moment. 7 | Photo by Chris Fryatt

Lovely chipped pass to get Sunderland up and running. Good on the ball and defended well. 7 | AFP via Getty Images
