Follow live text commentary, score updates and match stats from Sunderland v Bristol City in the Championship
Patrick Roberts preserved Sunderland's unbeaten home record with an equaliser deep in added time to thwart a determined Bristol City.
Sunderland struggled to find any fluency and ran into a team that looked a mile apart from that which capitulated so easily at Fratton Park three days earlier. The visitors survived loud penalty appeals as Yu Hirakawa clumsily bundled into Aji Alese in the area, with referee Dean Whitestone strangely awarding a free-kick the other way.
Roberts, who had replaced Watson from the bench, finally opened up the visitors, feeding Aouchiche on the left and then collecting the return pass to rifle the ball high into the net."We dominated the game, starting well with a good tempo and playing the way we wanted to play, with many switches and playing into the triangles.
"We had the character to score at the end but we can be frustrated because against a low block we struggled to find a solution.""I feel for the lads tonight. They left everything out there and that was what I was looking for in terms of a response to the weekend.
