Sunderland 0 Mansfield Town 1: Story of the day Cats crash out of the FA Cup after Rhys Oates goal at the Stadium of Light

Stags striker Rhys Oates scored the only goal of the game after six minutes, capitalising on an error from Sunderland goalkeeper Lee Burge.

Lee Johnson made four substitutions at half-time, yet his side still struggled to create chances as their League Two opponents progressed to the next round.

It's the second year running that Mansfield have beaten Sunderland in the FA Cup after The Stags claimed a 1-0 win at the Stadium of Light last year.

The Black Cats won’t have another league game until November, 20 after their game against Lincoln was postponed due to international call-ups.

Sunderland’s next game will come in the Papa John’s Trophy against Bradford next week.

Here’s how the game against Mansfield played out.
