7 Patterson: Will be frustrated by defending for two goals. Good reaction save at the start of the second half.
6 Hume: Troubled by Sema but stuck at it. Went close with header early in second half.
6 O’Nien: Will be frustrated to concede from two set-pieces. Scored first goal and led by example as Sunderland fought back.
6 Cirkin: Disciplined performance against Sarr.
6 Gooch: Linked up well with Roberts on the right but Hume needed bit more protection at times.
6 Neil: Worked hard as Sunderland won midfield battle but caught on counter.
6 Ekwah: Good early block. Tried to drive forward when possible, bit sloppy at times. Replaced early in second half.
7 Clarke: Stuck at it. Brilliant composure to pass to Roberts for equaliser when fans called for him to shoot.
7 Roberts: Was at the heart of a lot of the good play after second away goal. Went close to equaliser after O’Nien goal before stunning late leveller.
7 Amad: Influence grew as the game went on. Caused problems late on.
7 Gelhardt: Bright early on, linking up well with fellow attackers. Movement troubled Watford.
