Sunderland fell to their heaviest defeat of the Premier League campaign to date against Nottingham Forest on Friday night.
Three goals in ten minutes took the visitors out of sight in the first half at the Stadium of Light, with Elliott Anderson adding a fifth in stoppage time to complete the rout.
Here’s how we rated all the Black Cats involved on the night...

1. GK - Robin Roefs
Made a few strong early saves but was at fault for the second goal, giving the ball away as he tried to build from the back. No one played well but this was a key moment in the game. 4 | Getty Images

2. RB - Nordi Mukiele
Unlucky in the second half when he was ruled to have fouled Sels but wasn’t at his best. His aggressive positioning was caught out at times in the first half - though that is how Sunderland want him to play. One of many who was just sloppier in possession than usual. The sight of him arguing with fans at half time summed up a bad night for a team who’ve been so brilliant this season. 4 | Getty Images

3. CB - Dan Ballard
Unlucky to have a goal ruled out and headed a lot of set pieces clear on a day where Sunderland broadly defended them so poorly. 5 | Getty Images

4. CB - Omar Alderete
Well off the pace in the first half, too casual and giving the ball away on multiple occasions. Improved in the second half but the game was long done by then. 3 | Sunderland's Omar Alderete. Photo by Chris Fryatt.
