Sunderland lost 3-0 to Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium. A brace from Igor Thiago and a goal from Yehor Yarmoliuk saw Keith Andrew’s men earn all three points.

ROBIN ROEFS: 7/10

Nothing he could have really done about any of the goals, all of them came from poor defending. Had one dodgy moment where he paused to check on a player he collided with, almost letting them in, aside from that he was fine.

TRAI HUME: 4/10

Awful passing, couldn’t win a tussle to save his life and always too late to do anything about the goals.

NORDI MUKIELE: 5.5/10

Had a couple of bright moments going forward but was awful in the air and passing was very inaccurate.

DAN BALLARD: 6.5/10

He was okay, no glaring errors which is a lot better than some can say.

OMAR ALDERETE: 4/10

Didn’t get going from minute one, looked very fatigued given the amount of football he's played recently. Gave the ball away so many times.

GRANIT XHAKA: 4.5/10

Head went after the penalty miss, couldn’t pass to save his life. Before that, okay.

LUTSHAREL GEERTRUIDA: 3/10

Played a huge part in their second goal and very absent throughout.

CHRIS RIGG: 4.5/10

Was brought off before things got really bad, just not strong enough but the basics were there.

ENZO LE FEE: 3/10

No clue what he was playing at with the penalty, worst I’ve ever seen from a Sunderland player. Probably cost us the game, or at least a draw, because we had all the momentum at that point. Aside from the penalty he actually had a decent game but that moment drags his rating down.

SIMON ADINGRA: 5/10

Same as Rigg really but was able to get into the box a bit more and created a decent chance right before going off.

BRIAN BROBBEY: 7.5/10

Coped with their defence quite well and won the penalty, can’t ask for much more from your striker really.

SUBS:

ELIEZER MAYENDA: 4.5/10

Came on and had a go but really struggled.

ROMAINE MUNDLE: 5/10

Fared a bit better than Mayenda but messed up his chances.

DENNIS CIRKIN: 6/10

Not an awful lot to judge him off and the game was dead and buried by the time he came on.

DAN NEIL: 6/10
