Sunderland fell to a narrow defeat against Sporting Lisbon in their second and final game in Portugal.
Francisco Trincao’s first-half goal proved the difference between the two teams, though there were a lot of positives for the Black Cats. Here, we rate all 23 Sunderland players involved in the game...
5. Harrison Jones
Is doing a good job in a very unfamiliar role, sticking to his task well in 1-v-1 situations. 6 | Chris Fryatt
6. Noah Sadiki
Got around the pitch well again, competing and picking some good passes at time. Sunderland's midfield is really coming together. 6 | Ian Horrocks
7. Habib Diarra
Really grew into the half and was involved in some good play to open up space. Looked a threat and drew one good save from the Sporting goalkeeper. 7 | Chris Fryatt
8. Enzo Le Fee
One of, if not the best, players on the pitch in the first half. Disciplined off the ball and full of clever passes on it. Unlucky it didn't lead to a goal at any stage. 8 | Ian Horrocks.
