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.

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

Did OK at right-back, but no more

Made some important challenges

Looked tired again

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

Offered very little

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

Good energy but that is not enough

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

Clearly not match fit, and got precious little service anyway

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

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

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

For Gooch 75mins.
