Sunderland came from behind to earn a deserved point against Luton Town at Kenilworth Road. The Black Cats hit the woodwork twice in the first half, and Luton once, in an thrilling opening 45 minutes.
And Carlton Morris gave the Hatters the lead in injury-time at the end of the first half. But Sunderland made attacking changes in the second period and one of those subs, Elliot Embleton, hauled the Wearsiders level with a little over 10 minutes remaining.
Sunderland could have won it in the dying minutes, with Patrick Roberts curling the ball narrowly wide and Ellis Simms - who was given a 20-minute outing on his return after seven games out with a toe injury - seeing an effort blocked. Sunderland slipped one place to 16th in the table, while Luton stay ninth.
