Gillingham 1-0 Sunderland: James Hunter's player ratings as Black Cats are dumped out in extra time

Sunderland are out of the FA Cup following a miserable defeat in their first-round replay at Gillingham.

Brandon Hanlan scored with the only on-target shot of the game in extra time to send the hosts through.

The Black Cats failed to pose a genuine threat, with Will Grigg wasting their best chance when well placed on the edge of the box and firing wide.

Here's how James Hunter rated the Sunderland players following their FA Cup first-round exit:

LEE BURGE 6

Little chance with the goal, and that was the only on-target shot he faced

BRANDON TAYLOR 6

Youngster looked solid playing on the right-hand side of a back three

ALIM OZTURK 6

Not 100 percent fit but was defensively sound and lasted the initial 90mins

LAURENS DE BOCK 6

A stand-in centre-back, but did a decent job

LUKE O’NIEN 6

Got forward down the right but had to be careful after picking up a booking

MAX POWER 6

Came closest to a goal when Bonham had to claw away his miscued cross

GRANT LEADBITTER 6

Competitive but without standing out in central midfield

CHRIS MAGUIRE 5

Disappointing lack of quality when he got in and around the box

DENVER HUME 6

OK defensively but offered little going forward

DUNCAN WATMORE 5

Saw little of the ball and was taken off just after the hour

WILL GRIGG 5

Put one shot narrowly wide in the second half, but otherwise received no service whatsoever

SUBS

AIDEN McGEADY 5

For Watmore 64mins. Set one chance up for Grigg, otherwise quiet

JACK BAINBRIDGE 6

For Ozturk 90mins. Came on for the extra 30 minutes and did OK

DYLAN McGEOUCH 5

For Hume 105mins. Made no impact

LEE CONNELLY 6

For Grigg 113mins. Just a cameo from the youngster

NOT USED: Patterson, Mumba, Sammut
