PLAYER RATINGS

JON McLAUGHLIN

No chance with the goal and made two excellent saves to keep his side in the game

LUKE O’NIEN

Defensively he did OK and also produced an excellent finish for Sunderland’s goal

TOM FLANAGAN

Made some crucial interceptions when Charlton were throwing everything forward

JACK BALDWIN

Another strong display at the heart of defence alongside Flanagan

REECE JAMES

Brilliant going forward in the first half. Unlucky with the own goal in the second

LYNDEN GOOCH

Caused Charlton problems in the first half and hit the woodwork. Quieter in the second period

DYLAN McGEOUCH

Solid in the centre of the park

MAX POWER

Saw plenty of the ball and played the Lee Cattermole role in breaking up play

AIDEN McGEADY

Always a threat on whichever flank he popped up on

CHARLIE WYKE

His all-round play was good but had chances in the first half which he could not take

JOSH MAJA

Worked hard, his hold-up play was good and his efforts were appreciated by the travelling fans
