Sunderland were beaten 2-1 by Birmingham at St Andrew’s – but how did each player fare for Michael Beale’s side?
The Black Cats took a first-half lead when Jack Clarke latched onto a loose pass and scored his 15th goal of the season. Birmingham drew level in the second half, though, when Jordan James eventually converted from close range, before Koji Miyoshi scored the winner 10 minutes from time.
Here’s how Phil Smith rated the Sunderland players at St Andrew’s:
