Elliot Embleton came off the bench to earn Sunderland a deserved point against Luton Town at Kenilworth Road. Sunderland had twice hit the woodwork in the first period through Danny Batth and Leon Dajaku, while Luton's James Bree had also struck the upright.
But the hosts took the lead in injury-time at the end of the first period as Carlton Morris finished from close range. Sunderland pushed hard for an equaliser, with Tony Mowbray making attacking substitutions - including introducing on-loan Everton striker Ellis Simms for his comeback game after seven matches on the sidelines with a toe injury - as he looked for a way back into the game.
And it came with a little over 10 minutes remaining, when Embleton swept home Jack Clarke's cross. Sunderland ended the afternoon in 16th place, with Luton ninth.
