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:
9. Chris Maguire
A terrible backpass led to Coventry’s opening goal and brought little in the final third, ineffective both on the right flank and when he was moved infield towards the end. 4 Photo: FRANK REID
10. Aiden McGeady
Drew one good stop from Marosi as he cut inside in trademark fashion, but relatively well marshaled for the most part by Coventry. 5 Photo: FRANK REID
11. Will Grigg
Spurned a big chance in the first half when Hume released him on goal with a fine piece of play. Otherwise ineffectual and did little to bring others into play, though there was again little service to him. 4 Photo: FRANK REID 2019
12. Duncan Watmore
Brought some much-needed energy and pace to stretch a Coventry defence that had been too comfortable up until that point. 6 Photo: Frank Reid
