and live on Freeview channel 276
The visitors opened the scoring in the eighth minute when Harry Wilson’s low effort beat Anthony Patterson, despite the keeper getting a hand on the ball.
Fulham substitute Andreas Pereira then added a second in the 59th minute, before Jack Clarke pulled one back 13 minutes from time.
It wasn’t to be for the Black Cats, though, as Layvin Kurzawa added a third for the Premier League side, before Jewison Bennette added a consolation goal for the hosts.

Clarke is playing in a more central position alongside Ba.

The substitutes combine.
First Mitrovic went through on goal before Patterson saved the striker’s effort.
The ball bounced back to the Serbian, though, and Mitrovic cut the ball back to Pereira from a tight angle, allowing the latter to convert.
0-2.
57’ OFF THE LINE!
So close!
More good work from Roberts who nutmegged Cairney before setting up Amad on the right of the penalty area.
The latter cut inside and went for goal but Duffy blocked the shot on the line.
