The Black Cats fell behind in the 13th minute when Luke Cundle’s effort deflected off Luke O’Nien and past goalkeeper Anthony Patterson.

It was a tough first half for Tony Mowbray’s side as the hosts dominated possession and doubled their lead through Harry Darling on the stroke of half-time.

Sunderland pulled a goal back through Jack Clarke at the start of the second half but couldn’t salvage a point.

Here’s how the game played out:
