Benji Kimpioka’s late strike rescued a point for the Black Cats in what proved to be a dramatic finale after a lacklustre performance throughout the 90 minutes, but did any players put in a positive performance on another disappointing afternoon? Scroll down and click through the pages to see how our chief Sunderland AFC writer, Phil Smith, rated the individual displays on show on Wearside:
5. Joel Lynch
Looked uncertain at times with midfielders breaking beyond him, but steadied and looked controlled in the second half. 6 Photo: FRANK REID
6. Max Power
Substituted just after the hour mark having failed to make any impression on the game. Saw very little of the ball and couldn’t get into any advanced areas. 4 Photo: FRANK REID 2019
7. Grant Leadbitter
Good composure at a vital moment to spot Kimpioka in space and tee him up for the late equaliser. Struggled in the first half but more influential in the second. 6 Photo: Frank Reid
8. George Dobson
Started off brightly, playing some good passes and lifting the tempo. Fell away as the game developed and spurned a big opening to play Watmore in late on. Yellow card means he is now suspended for the Burton game. 5 Photo: FRANK REID 2019
