Sunderland player ratings as Patterson impresses and Stewart nets injury-time equaliser

Ross Stewart scored an injury-time equaliser against Burton Albion to spare Sunderland another home defeat.

The Black Cats trailed to Cameron Borthwick-Jackson's goal early in the second half, but Stewart headed home in the 93rd minute to earn a point for Alex Neil's side.

But the game was of secondary importance after play had to be suspended for almost an hour due to a medical emergency in the crowd within minutes of kick-off.

Here's how James Hunter rated the Sunderland players.

Anthony Patterson 7

Made a couple of excellent saves and ultimately that set the stage for Stewart to equalise

Carl Winchester 6

Did OK at right-back, but no more

Bailey Wright 6

Made some important challenges

Callum Doyle 5

Looked tired again

Dennis Cirkin 5

Needs a rest, but there is no-one able to take over from him

Lynden Gooch 5

Offered very little

Corry Evans 5

Made a crucial block in the first half to deny Burton a goal, but otherwise offered little

Jay Matete 5

Good energy but that is not enough

Alex Pritchard 6

Provided the assist for Stewart, and tried his luck with a couple of free-kicks but could not find a goal himself

Jermain Defoe 5

Clearly not match fit, and got precious little service anyway

Ross Stewart 7

Scored the late equaliser and had earlier brought a few saves out of the keeper

Subs

Elliot Embleton 5

For Evans 60mins. Erratic crossing frustrated the crowd late in the game

Jack Clarke 6

For Defoe 70mins. Looked lively and tested the keeper with a late shot

Dan Neil N/A

For Gooch 75mins.

Not used: Hoffmann, Batth, Dajaku, Roberts
