Sunderland 1-2 West Brom LIVE: Updates as Black Cats face Baggies with no Ross Stewart in squad
Key Events

- SAFC XI: Patterson, Gooch, O’Nien, Batth, Alese, Evans, Neil, Embleton, Pritchard, Amad, Simms
- SUBS: Bass, Hume, Cirkin, Ba, Dajaku, Roberts, Clarke
Sunderland look very out of sorts in the second half. Patterson has just kicked one into touch under little pressure. Mowbray;s men need to get hold of the ball and calm it
Amad does wonderfully to break and give it to Clarke on the left but West Brom clear their lines. There’s space on the counter for the Black Cats
