Nathan Jones admitted Sunderland are 'really tricky' to play against as the Black Cats denied him victory in his 300th game in charge of Luton Town. Jones' milestone - which covers the games he has managed in two spells at Kenilworth Road - ended in a 1-1 draw, with Sunderland equalising late in the game.
Carlton Morris had given Luton the lead in first-half injury time, but Elliot Embleton came off the bench to level with a little over 10 minutes remaining although the Wearsiders could not go on to force a winning goal. Luton had lost 4-0 at Watford in their previous outing, so a draw did at least prevent damaging back-to-back defeats for the Hatters.
Asked about his landmark game, Jones said: "That [victory] would have been perfect, but it was a hard fought game and every point in the Championship is tough. This is Sunderland Football Club, 40,000 [fans] every week, so they're a big club, really tricky side to play against because of the individuals they've got and they play that way.
