What is Tony Mowbray saying ahead of the game?

Key Events

  • Tony Mowbray's side face their final pre-season game against Hartlepool at The Vic on Tuesday
  • Sunderland's Championship season will kick off at home against Ipswich Town on August 6

Roberts and Hume combine well down the right but it comes to nothing. Sunderland look right at it here.

Clarke has the ball in the box but slips over at the crucial moment. Sunderland look dangerous every time they come forward here against Mallorca. Ekwah keeps finding space in the middle.

Some lovely play between Roberts and Clarke, who wriggles into the box and bounces off a defender. Wants a penalty but nothing given

Bellingham is sent through by a long ball from the back but Mallorca's defence mops up before the attacking midfielder can get a foot to it

Dan Neil dances through the middle but can't find Hemir with the pass, the striker would have been offside anyway

Sunderland pushing on the edge of Mallorca's box. Lots of touches for Roberts, Clarke, Ekwah and Neil. No second breakthrough as of yet though.

Sunderland, however, have looked the better side against La Liga opposition

Clarke has a free-kick saved on the half-hour mark

Our thoughts on Patrick Roberts

Roberts blazes over from a tight angle after great work from Jobe in the 10 position

Great ball by Ekwah to find Roberts, who finds Jobe, who wins a corner. Good stuff by Sunderland, who nearly squeeze the ball in. Another corner coming up
