Sunderland drew 0-0 with Manchester United at the Stadium of Light on Saturday afternoon.
Regis Le Bris’s side performed well on the day, denied by some excellent Senne Lammens saves and controlling large spells of the contest. Though the visitors applied some pressure late on, they struggled to create chances and test a confident Sunderland side.
Here’s how we rated all the Black Cats involved on the day...
9. CAM - Enzo Le Fee
Absolutely superb. In this mood he changes the whole dynamic of the team in a central area. So many good passes and touches, he was very unfortunate not to get at least one assist in the game. What a player. 9 | Getty Images
10. LW - Chemsdine Talbi
Was really unlucky when an excellent early effort flashed just wide of the far post. Worked hard and got into some good areas but just lacked the end product on a couple of occasions. Another promising display, though. 6 | Getty Images
11. CF - Brian Brobbey
Put in a big shift and drew a good save from Lammens in the second half. Combined very nicely with Le Fee and unlucky not to be on the winning side. Got nothing from the referee. 7 | Getty Images
12. Sub - Nilson Angulo
Made some good runs but didn’t see a lot of the ball - will need time after a significant spell on the sidelines. 5 | Nilson Angulo of Sunderland against Port Vale. Photo by Chris Fryatt.
