Aiden McGeady’s first goal of the campaign earned the Black Cats a point after Reece Burke’s opener, in a result which ensured neither side gained ground in the promotion race.
But which of the Sunderland side caught the eye, and who has work to do? Scroll down as Phil Smith dishes out his players ratings from the 1-1 draw:
5. Callum McFadzean
Didn’t offer much going forward and struggled to contain Wilks in the second half, though he did make a strong late block. 5 Photo: FRANK REID 2019
6. Grant Leadbitter
A moment of ingenuity helped get his side level, springing Diamond clear with a clever free-kick. Not at his most influential generally. 6 Photo: FRANK REID 2020
7. Max Power
Little impact through the first half but looked lively in the second when moved to an unfamiliar right-back role. Overlapped well and delivered some threatening crosses. 6 Photo: Frank Reid
8. Josh Scowen
Plenty of energy but little craft in possession as his side struggled to create any real openings from open play. 5 Photo: Frank Reid
