SUNDERLAND (4-1-4-1):

5 Mannone: Only had one save to make and he held on to the low drive from Sigurdsson;

7 Jones: Performed competently on his first Premier League debut for the club in both an attacking and defensive sense

8 O’Shea: Made life difficult throughout for Gomis and kept the backline together well

7 Vergini: Made a few sloppy passes but was solid whenever a white shirt came his way

5 Van Aanholt: The weakest of the Sunderland defenders and needs to find greater confidence;

7 Cattermole: Was arguably the best player on the pitch until he was booked but still performed strongly

8 BUCKLEY: Will keep his place in Poyet’s team if he keeps playing as well as this

4 Rodwell: Rarely involved in the action and it was no surprise when he was replaced before the hour.

6 Larsson: Made a number of great deliveries in to the box but nobody got on the end of them

6 Johnson: Started brightly but unable to keep it going for the 90 minutes;

5 Wickham: Held up play but never really looked like scoring and wasted a great, late chance

Subs:

Gomez (for Rodwell 58): Needed to break in behind the defence more. 5

Alvarez (for Johnson 66): Impressed with his probing and direct running. 7

Fletcher (for Wickham 75)

(not used) Pantilimon (gk); Bridcutt, Altidore, Mavrias.

SWANSEA CITY (4-2-3-1): FABIANSKI 7; Rangel 4, Williams 6, Fernandez 5, Taylor 6; Shelvey 6, Ki 5; Routledge 5, Sigurdsson 5, Dyer 4 (Montero 65, 4); Gomis 3 (Bony 70, 5). Subs (not used): Tremmel (gk), Emnes, Bartley, Carroll, Richards.

MAN OF THE MATCH: WILL Buckley – shone in a red and white shirt and will be difficult to replace showing such quality.
