Here's how we rated the players.
1. Lee Nicholls - 4.5
Not a good return to the side. Though Sunderland had only three chances on target, Nicholls was beaten three times, and won't want to watch the second goal back very often.
2. Dean Lewington - 6.5
Can't really be blamed for the own goal early on. Defended well on the whole before being rested towards the end.
3. Top Don: Louis Thompson - 7.5
Playing out of position, Thompson never missed a beat. Read the game well, tackled cleanly and gave an air of calm on the ball.
4. Warren O'Hora - 6.5
A typically reliable outing for the Irishman. Made some good tackles and interceptions, but could do little to stop any of the goals.
