Sunderland fell to their second home defeat of the Championship campaign on Saturday afternoon.
Ben Cabango’s second-half goal from a set piece proved the difference in a game low on quality and clear chances. Here’s how we rated the Black Cats...
9. Patrick Roberts
Made some excellent driving runs infield to no avail. Had some good moments in an otherwise uninspiring Sunderland performance. 6 | Phil Smith Photo: Phil Smith
10. Tommy Watson
Didn’t always come off but was Sunderland’s most dangerous player for the 75 minutes he was on the pitch. Drew one good save from Vigouroux in the first half and had some bright moments without reward. 6 | Phil Smith Photo: Phil Smith
11. Wilson Isidor
Had the ball in the net early on but was ruled offside. That proved to be the theme of the first half as he was caught offside on multiple occasions. Never really threatened the goal apart from one second-half header. 5 | Phil Smith Photo: Phil Smith
12. Enzo Le Fee
Made a big impact in getting Sunderland on the ball and lifting the tempo, albeit without necessarily carving out a big chance. Looks absolutely vital to Sunderland’s play-off hopes. 6 | Phil Smith
