9. RW - Chemsdine Talbi
A big step forward. Got an assist and was a real threat throughout, both with his crossing and the way he opened up space with his first touch. Promising. 7 | Photo by Ian Horrocks courtesy of Sunderland AFC.
10. LW - Simon Adingra
Took his goal very well and stretched the play nicely at times. Always a threat in possession. 7 | Chris Fryatt
11. ST - Eliezer Mayenda
Didn’t really get into the first half but hard to be particularly critical as he didn’t see much possession. More of a threat in the second and forced one good low stop from Pandur. 5 | Chris Fryatt
12. Sub - Niall Huggins
Didn’t see a lot of the ball and struggled to get up to the pace of it at times. 5 Photo: Frank Reid
