Iain Munro sent off for a dangerous tackle on Steve Hunt, 75 minutes.

Injuries are incurred in a battling performance on Wearside. Daly collides with Siddall and damages ribs, whilst Hunt injures his collarbone after a fearful tackle from Munro which earned him a red card 15 minutes from time. Sunderland have not won in six, and not scored in four.
