Hemir and Nectarios Triantis both played for Sunderland’s under-21s side as they scored a stoppage-time winner to beat Peterborough 2-1 in the Premier League Cup – but how did each player fare for the young Black Cats?
After a goalless first half, Graeme Murty’s side appeared to be heading for all three points when Ellis Taylor opened the scoring with a fine free-kick, yet Kai Corbett’s penalty drew the visitors level.
Peterborough substitute Torin Ntege was then sent off for a second booking nine minutes from time, before Sunderland defender Henry Fieldson headed home a winner in the sixth minute of injury time.
Here’s how each Sunderland player fared at Eppleton CW:
9. Michael Spellman - 6
Switched from the right to the left in the second half and tried to move inside to help link up play. Sent an effort just wide at the start of the second half before being substituted just after the hour mark. 6 Photo: FRANK REID
10. Joe Ryder - 6
Had a few bright moments on the left in the first half. Dipped in and out of the game against Peterborough’s five-man defence. 6 Photo: FranK Reid
11. Hemir - 6

12. Harry Gardiner - 6
