Jamie Mackie has heaped praise on QPR goalkeeper Seny Dieng for keeping Ross Stewart out just moments after equalising at the Stadium of Light. The 27-year-old scored 92nd minute equaliser to leave Alex Neil's side still searching for their first home win of the campaign.
The Black Cats looked to be on course for their first three points, and could have won it late on when the ball dropped to Stewart. Mackie said: “He rose so well and it was like a striker’s header. It wasn’t just like a snapshot or something landed for him, and it wasn’t even from the first corner, it was from the second phase.
“Ilias Chair puts the ball in a great area and Micheal Beale mentioned it there that no one really picks up the keeper. The technique that he uses where he turns his neck, it does look like he’s practised heading before. I’m not sure he has but what a fantastic moment for him.
