SUNDERLAND (4-2-3-1):
8 HOFFMAN: Made superb saves in both halves and was composed and precise when distributing with the ball at his feet
6 Winchester: Was a major attacking presence in the first half, but found himself having to concentrate on his defending in the second
6 Wright: Had coped impressively on his return to the starting line-up, only to be controversially penalised for a stoppage-time pull
6 Doyle: Dealt with Fleetwood’s long throws without too much trouble, but wasn’t as effective against Morton’s forward runs
7 Cirkin: Made a series of penetrative breaks down the left-hand side and was always on top of his defensive duties
6 O’Nien: Won Sunderland’s penalty as he was wrestled away from the ball and won his personal battle at the heart of midfield
6 Neil: Produced some nice touches at the heart of midfield, but was showing signs of tiring before he was taken off midway through the second half
5 Gooch: Almost scored with a second-half shot that was turned around the post, but his use of the ball was mixed
7 Embleton: Came close with a first-half effort that flashed just wide and delivered the cross for Stewart’s headed opener
6 McGeady: Held his nerve to convert from the spot and threatened with two shots that flew just over
8 Stewart: Delivered another impressive display of leading the line that was capped with the glanced header that opened the scoring
Subs:
6 Evans (for Neil, 66): Produced an important defensive header to keep the ball out just before Fleetwood equalised from the spot
Broadhead (for Embleton, 72)
Alves (for McGeady, 90)
(not used): Burge (gk), Huggins, Pritchard, Dajaku.
Man Of The Match: CALLUM MORTON – The Fleetwood forward kept his side in the game with his penetrative running and cutting in from the flank.
