Sunderland finished the regular campaign with their fifth defeat in a row.
Nicolas Madsen’s early goal proved the difference between the teams as the Black Cats again struggled to create any chances of note. Here’s how we rated the Black Cats after another disappointing display...

9. Patrick Roberts
Put one header wide early in the second half but otherwise barely involved in the game from an attacking perspective. 4 | Phil Smith

10. Enzo Le Fee
Some good touches but really did look wasted out on the left. Too easy to mark and not enough players around him to show his class. 5 | Phil Smith

11. Eliezer Mayenda
Started brightly and drew one save from Walsh, but very quiet thereafter. Whoever plays up front looks worryingly isolated at the minute. 5 | Phil Smith

12. Dan Ballard
Drew the best save of the game from Walsh with a header and looked sharp enough defensively when called upon . 6 | Phil Smith Photo: Phil Smith
