Player Ratings: Southampton 1-1 Sunderland

Sunderland secured their first point of the season with a draw at Southampton.

The Black Cats took the lead 80 minutes in after the two skippers collided in the box. Jose Fonte brought down Sunderland’s stand-in captain Jermain Defoe, who made no mistake from the penalty spot.

Jordan Pickford, making his first Premier League start of the season following Vito Mannone’s injury, had a fantastic game. The 22-year-old seemed unbeatable as he parried close to a dozen shots away. However, whilst he was impressive, a late mistake allowed Jay Rodriguez to equalise for the hosts just five minutes from time.

Below is how the Black Cats players rated as David Moyes’ side claimed their first points of the season just before the International break.
