Sunderland are back up to fifth place after earning a point at home to Bristol City - but the Black Cats were minutes away from a third win in a row. Tony Mowbray's side looked to be on course for victory when Jack Clarke put them ahead on the hour, but they just could not get the second goal they needed to kill the game off.
And with Bristol City pushing hard in the latter stages, eventually their pressure paid off. Trai Hume brought down Jay Dasilva inside the box, and Nakhi Wells stepped up to convert the spot-kick with Anthony Patterson unable to pull off a repeat of his penalty save at QPR in midweek.
For Sunderland, the draw means they have lost just one of their last ten league games while Bristol City are unbeaten in eight.
