Phil Smith's Sunderland AFC player ratings: Who shone and struggled in frustrating Plymouth Argyle defeat?

Sunderland fell to a first league defeat since December in their clash with Plymotuh Argyle – but how did their players perform in the 2-1 reverse?

Adam Lewis’ early opener was cancelled-out by Aiden O’Brien’s cushioned header shortly after the restart as Sunderland saw plenty of the ball.

But parity didn’t last long as Joe Edwards’ powerful strike saw the Pilgrims retake the lead just five minutes after the leveller – which handed Argyle victory.

So who emerged with credit for the Black Cats, and who failed to impress during the home defeat?

Our chief football writer Phil Smith has dished out his merit marks, and it’s fair to say they’re a mixed bag after another indifferent result for the Black Cats.
