Lee Johnson made a big call in starting both Ross Stewart and Charlie Wyke but it was Posh who took the lead in the second half.

A win for Sunderland could send the Black Cats into the automatic promotion spots for the first time since April 2019 but. it wasn’t to be.

If Sunderland can win their games in hand, however, they will go top

Here’s how you reacted on Twitter to the result:

@ShaunGunner1973: “Good point, still think we had enough in us to win but still happy with the draw.”

@lord_barrold: “A fair result. Not a bad point for us overall and we still have the opportunity to overtake Posh with our game in hand. I thought Luke O’Nien epitomised our battling spirit yet again. What a guy. Keep going lads! #SAFC.”

@jxmes123: “Decent result. Most important thing was to not lose that game. We'll have opportunities to overtake them in the next few weeks.”

@safc_crazy: “I would have taken a point beforehand, disappointed in the goal we conceded though, but still a good point.”

@TN140303: "Huge point, a disappointing performance from McFaz again, which cost a goal, it still all in our hands.”

@Kevsol: “Sanderson, Burge and O'Nien (in particular) very good. On the whole though, we were poor. Tricky conditions, happy with a point.”
