Despite Ross Stewart’s last-minute equaliser, Tuesday’s 1-1 draw with Burton was another disappointing result, meaning Sunderland have won just one of their last ten matches.

While they were beaten by Sunderland on the opening day of the season, Wigan are second in the table and have taken ten points from their last four games.
