Ross Stewart was stretchered off, casting a shadow over a pulsating FA Cup tie which saw Sunderland earn a replay against Premier League Fulham on Wearside. Top scorer Stewart suffered what looked like a painful injury midway through the first half after an innocuous tussle with Issa Diop, and depending on the seriousness of his problem it could have major repercussions on the Black Cats' play-off hopes.
Stewart's injury took the shine off an incredible game at Craven Cottage with chances galore for both sides. Jack Clarke had put Sunderland in front after only five minutes and the visitors had opportunities to kill the game before half-time, but could not do so.
And they paid the price when Tom Cairney levelled on the hour. Either side could have won it with both Sunderland keeper Anthony Patterson and his opposite number Marek Rodak making crucial saves.
