47’ Pritchard free-kick wide
We’ve seen Pritchard curl home some excellent free-kicks this season, but that one was a bit too far out.
The playmaker sent his effort wide of the post.
45+9’ Handball appeals
Sunderland players appealed for handball after Pritchard swung a corner into the box.
Nothing was given.
45+4’ Martin Canning shown yellow card
Sunderland assistant Martin Canning has been shown a yellow card after complaining to the fourth official.
It came after Cirkin was penalised.
There are boos from the home crowd.
43’ Another clearance by Evans
Evans was alert again after a Burton free-kick was hocked back across goal and cleared by the Sunderland captain.
There have been a few nervy moments at the back.
