JAMIE CUMMING Kept the scoreline lower than what it could’ve been with three impressive saves in a strong performance. MAN OF THE MATCH – 7.5 PETER KIOSO Intriguing battle with Romaine Mundle and won his share of the one-on-one duels with the winger – 6 ELLIOTT MOORE Tough afternoon against a very confident Wilson Isidor, who showed his class with the second goal of the afternoon – 6 BEN NELSON Unable to play out from the back like in previous games due to an intense Sunderland press – 6 CIARON BROWN Tricky first half against Patrick Roberts, who was scintillating at times in the opening 45 minutes – 6 READ ALSO: U’s defender criticises ‘poor performance’ at Sunderland RUBEN RODRIGUES Looked to be the one who pressed higher in first half, but had very little impact on the game – 5.
5 WILL VAULKS His pass out to Greg Leigh was undercooked and ultimately led to the second Black Cats goal – 5.5 IDRIS EL MIZOUNI Taken off at half-time to allow the change of shape, and had one tame effort while on the pitch – 5.5 TYLER GOODRHAM Busy but another player who was unable to offer much in the way of a threat in the final third – 6 DANE SCARLETT Worked hard up front but had pretty much nothing to feed on or work with in attack.
BOOKED – 6 MARK HARRIS Playing him out wide didn’t pay off, although he will surely see more of the ball in other games – 5.5 SUBSTITUTES Greg Leigh (for El Mizouni, 46) Offered a bit of an outlet on the left-hand side after the half-time switch – 6.5 Hidde ter Avest (for Kioso, 75) Solid cameo when on for his U’s debut and showed some decent touches – 6 Josh McEachran (for Vaulks, 75) Offered a little bit of stability in midfield when he came on – 6 Louie Sibley (for Rodrigues, 75) Eager to try and get on the ball and make something happen from the bench.
BOOKED – 6 Will Goodwin (for Scarlett, 81) Unused: Ingram, Long, Dale, Ebiowei. Substitutes who come on after the 75th minute do not get a rating..
