How did the Sunderland players fare in their 2-2 draw with Leeds?


SUNDERLAND (4-3-3):

6 Patterson: Didn’t have a chance with either Leeds goal, but didn’t have to make a lot of other saves either

7 Hume: Did a good job against Ramazani and generally used the ball well when he had it at his feet

6 Mepham: Allowed Piroe to drift off him for the goal and occasionally looked uncomfortable against the Leeds attack

6 O’Nien: Got himself into a position where Piroe’s goal was allowed to stand, but made a couple of important blocks

6 Cirkin: Made some important tackles, but had a difficult night defensively against Gnonto

7 BELLINGHAM: Drove Sunderland forward in the first half and came close with a couple of shots that flashed just wide

6 Neil: Tried to halt Leeds’ counter-attacking moves, but had a tough night at the heart of midfield

7 Rigg: Was in the right place at the right time to open the scoring, but was starting to run out of steam by the time he was replaced in the second half

6 Roberts: Showed some promising flashes down the right-hand side, but the end product wasn’t quite there

6 Isidor: Put in a decent shift, but struggled to get much change out of Leeds’ two central defenders

6 Mundle: Produced some dangerous dribbles down the left, but failed to seriously test the Leeds goal
