The Black Cats took the lead shortly before the interval thanks to a thunderbolt from Grant Leadbitter, but were unable to hang on for all three points, with Fejiri Okenabirhie popping up for the hosts in the 93rd minute to bundle home a scruffy leveller.

A draw leaves Phil Parkinson’s men winless in their last four outings across all competitions, and supporters have been quick to voice their displeasure at another disappointing result in the aftermath of the final whistle.

Here are some of the best reactions from frustrated fans:

@JoeHWren tweeted: “I swear we’re cursed”.
