Sunderland 1 Luton Town 1: Highlights as Amad Diallo penalty earns Cats a draw after Alfie Doughty goal
and live on Freeview channel 276
After a goalless first half, the visitors took the lead six minutes after the restart when Alfie Doughty’s low effort beat goalkeeper Anthony Patterson.
Sunderland reacted well, though, with Mowbray using all five of his available substitutes.
One of those subs then won a penalty as Amad was fouled in the Luton box, before converting from the spot.
Here’s how the game played out:

61’ Corner wasted
Gelhardt did well to win a corner there after breaking down the left past Osho, before Lockyer came across to tackle the forward.
Clarke’s corner was then comfortably held by Horvath.
65’ Amad playing in more advanced role
Amad has taken up a more advanced position than what Ba was playing and is operating alongside Gelhardt.
Luton’s defence still look relatively comfortable.
67’ Chance for Gelhardt
The game opened up for Sunderland there as Clarke set up Gelhardt inside the Luton box.
The forward scuffed his effort, though and failed to test the goalkeeper.
71’ FOUR SUNDERLAND CHANGES
ON: Pritchard, Gooch, Bennette and Ekwah
OFF: Hume, Gelhardt, Neil and Michut
76’ Adebayo goes down
Adebayo has just gone down inside the Sunderland box after tangling with Gooch and appealed for a penalty.
The referee gives the decision the other way, awarding Sunderland a free-kick.
