Thanks for joining us tonight
We’re signing off for tonight.
It’s been another tough one to take for the Black Cats.
We’ll have more fallout and reaction from today’s match on the SAFC section of the Echo in the coming days, as well as build-up to Saturday’s FA Cup match against Mansfield.
84’ Changes for both sides
Broadhead has come on for Sunderland with O’Brien making way.
Wednesday have also made two changes with Brown and Berahino coming on for Corbeanu and Gregory.
80’ Sunderland should have pulled one back
How haven’t Sunderland scored there?
Stewart’s low cross from the right fell to O’Brien, then O’Nien but neither of them could convert from close range.
It’s just not been Sunderland’s night.
