PLAYER RATINGS

Jason Steele

Made a couple of excellent saves on his return to the side. Handling was good, too

Lamine Kone

Sunderland needed his physical presence to keep Morison and Gregory at bay

John O’Shea

Kept the defence organised, although had to rely on others to deal with Gregory’s pace

Ty Browning

Back in the side and had a decent game as part of a back five that came close to keeping a clean sheet

Adam Matthews

No problem with his defensive duties and caused Millwall problems when he came forward

Lee Cattermole

Worked hard in the centre of the park, cleared one off the line and almost kept out the goal

Ovie Ejaria

Some neat touches in midfield and his height helped, but there was no end product

Bryan Oviedo

Scored a terrific goal to put his side in front and was a threat whenever he came forward

Callum McManaman

Saw plenty of the ball in the first half but could not make it count

Aiden McGeady

A threat from the flank and his short corner routine with Oviedo led to the goal

Ashley Fletcher

No shortage of effort but had no sightings of goal, either
