Sunderland were back in action on Wednesday night as their hectic schedule continued at Brentford.
It proved to be a chastening night for the Black Cats, who were beaten 3-0 as Enzo Le Fee missed a second-half penalty with the game still all the balance. Here’s how we rated all the Black Cats involved on the night...
9. RW - Chris Rigg
Played off the right flank but it didn’t really work on this occasion. Understandably struggled in 1-v-1 duels out wide and didn’t really get the chance to roll inside and show what he can do. 5 | AFP via Getty Images
10. LW - Simon Adingra
Sunderland didn’t get enough possession to him in advanced areas but will be frustrated he couldn’t get into the game more. Lost the ball in some dangerous areas on a tough night. 5 | Frank Reid
11. CF - Brian Brobbey
Did brilliantly to win the penalty, one of a few occasions he showed his impressive strength. Moving firmly in the right direction and proving to be a good focal point for his team. 7 | Chris Fryatt
12. Sub - Eliezer Mayenda
Had a real impact after coming on, playing Brobbey in for the penalty and pushing Brentford back. Should have started, really. 7 | Frank Reid
