Sunderland dropped two precious points on the road as they failed to put away their chances against struggling Charlton Athletic. The Black Cats created enough opportunities to have won two or three games, but could not make them count at The Valley.
Goalkeeper Craig MacGillivray made several good saves, and when he was beaten by Dennis Cirkin a goalline clearance came to his rescue. Sunderland also sent a number of chances narrowly wide, with leading scorer Ross Stewart heading the wrong side of the post on a couple of occasions.
The draw means Sunderland failed to clock up their first back-to-back wins of 2022, while for Charlton it halted their five-game losing streak. Alex Neil's side has slipped one place to seventh in the table.
