Amad came off the bench to score from the penalty spot and earn Sunderland a point against Luton Town at the Stadium of Light. The on-loan Manchester United forward was making his comeback after missing the last two games with a hamstring issue.
And Amad earned the penalty five minutes from time when he was fouled by Amari Bell, and then got up to coolly convert. Sunderland had hit the post in the first half through Dan Neil, but Luton had gone in front through Alfie Doughty early in the second period.
The draw meant Tony Mowbray's Sunderland moved up one place to 11th in the Championship table, while Luton stay fourth and on course for the play-offs. The Championship now pauses for the international break before Sunderland resume their campaign a week on Friday against runaway leaders Burnley at Turf Moor.
