Sunderland's FA Cup adventure has ended at the fourth round stage after they lost a thrilling fourth round replay against Fulham at the Stadium of Light. The Black Cats were bidding for the right to face Leeds United in the last 16 of the competition, 50 years after their famous triumph against the Yorkshire club at Wembley.
But, after securing a 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage against Premier League Fulham in the initial tie, Sunderland lost out on home turf. Harry Wilson scored early for the Londoners, with sub Andreas Pereira adding a second on the hour.
Jack Clarke halved the deficit with just over ten minutes to go, but Layvin Kurzawa restored Fulham's two-goal advantage shortly afterward. Sunderland sub Jewison Bennette made it 3-2 near the end, but it was just not quite enough for Tony Mowbray's men.
