Tony Mowbray says Sunderland fell victim to a 'sucker-punch' in injury-time after failing to kill Bristol City off with a second goal. The Black Cats looked to be on course for victory after Jack Clarke had fired them in front on the hour at the Stadium of Light.
They then had a series of chances to extend their lead but could not take them, only to pay the price when Trai Hume gave away a late penalty for a foul on Jay Dasilva which Nakhi Wells converted to give the Robins a point. "I think we played against a decent team - a young, athletic, mobile, team," said Mowbray.
"That's their 11th game unbeaten [in all competitions] so we knew it was going to be tough, but we believed we could win and it looked as though we had. Overall, I'm not sure of the balance of chances etcetera, but there were spells in the game where they gave us problems, but generally we controlled it.
