Sunderland's search for just their second win of the season continues after a disappointing defeat against Nottingham Forest. Prior to the game, the hosts had not won a game in Premier League 2 Division 2, nor had they kept a clean sheet in the competition.
But all that changed this evening as John Hewitson's young side came unstuck on the road. Forest substitute Ateef Konate would give U21s coach Dave Rogers a welcome first three points of the season, but Sunderland slipped closer to the foot of the table.
It was a first-half of very few clear cut chances with both sides intent on keeping a clean sheet. The hosts started the better of the two sides with Oliver Hammond seeing an effort saved by Adam Richardson before another was blocked by Ben Crompton.
