Sunderland were back in Premier League action on Saturday as they welcomed Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth side to the Stadium of Light.
Despite falling 2-0 behind in the first half, Sunderland battled back to seal a famous comeback win and move onto 22 points for the campaign. Here’s how we rated all the Black Cats involved on the day...
1. GK - Robin Roefs
Unlucky that a brilliant save from Evanilson ran into the path of Adli for the opener. Beaten from distance by Adams for the second but it was a brilliant hit. Defended his box under pressure well late on. 6 | Chris Fryatt
2. RB - Nordi Mukiele
Unfortunate slip let Semenyo in for the first goal. Not much chance to get forward but stuck to his task against a very high-calibre opponent in the former Bournemouth loanee. 6 | Frank Reid
3. CB - Dan Ballard
Made some important defensive contributions and stepped out well at times in the second half. 6 | Getty Images
4. CB - Omar Alderete
A steady return to the starting XI. Got through most of his defensive work well and was composed in possession for the most part. Will take him a little while to get right back up to speed. 6 | Chris Fryatt
