4s and 5s in the player ratings as Sunderland produce another dire performance against Doncaster

Managerless Sunderland crashed to a damaging home defeat at the hands of bottom-of-the-table Doncaster Rovers.

The Black Cats, who sacked head coach Lee Johnson last weekend following a 6-0 reverse at Bolton, found themselves 2-0 down at half-time with Reo Griffiths and Tommy Rowe scoring the goals for Rovers.

And while Corry Evans pulled a goal back at the death, this was a defeat that saw Sunderland slip further off the promotion pace and drop to fourth in the table.
