PLAYER RATINGS

Lee Camp

Left exposed for both goals and at least he made two saves to spare his side further humiliation

Lamine Kone

Did well in the first half but struggled in the second – particularly when his team went down to 10 men

John O’Shea

Let Huntington outmuscle him at a corner in first half but got away with it.

Jake Clark-Salter

Dreadful defensively and the red card just topped things off. Had just returned from a three-game ban

Adam Matthews

Woeful in the first half when he could hardly drag himself forward; improved – slightly – in the second

Lee Cattermole

Sunderland’s midfield overrun from first to last, with Cattermole bearing his share of responsibility

Ovie Ejaria

A few neat touches in the first half but to no avail. Faded in the second period

George Honeyman

Worked hard but nothing came off for him. A very frustrating afternoon

Bryan Oviedo

Made two vital clearances in the second half to prevent Preston adding further goals

Joel Asoro

Came closest to finding a goal but saw his first-half shot blocked behind for a corner

Josh Maja

Showed plenty of energy in support of Asoro, justifying his inclusion ahead of Fletcher
