BAILEY PEACOCK FARRELL 7
Solid display. Burnley new boy will have benefited from first senior action of the season.
CONOR McLAUGHLIN 6
Had hands full with the lively Rodrigues, but a good night’s work from Sunderland right-back.
TOM FLANAGAN 8
Sunderland defender read danger well and was composed on ball. Impressive display.
CIARON BROWN 6
A couple of stray passes the only blemishes of an otherwise solid display from debutant.
SHANE FERGUSON 7
Millwall left back defended well and always looked to get forward in support of Lafferty.
CORRY EVANS 6
Stand-in skipper put in the hard yards at heart of midfield. Unruffled performance.
JORDAN THOMPSON 8
Neat and tidy in possession, tenacious in tackle and went close with second half shot.
GEORGE SAVILLE 6
Middlesbrough man’s header back across goal led to Malget’s bizarre first-half own goal.
GAVIN WHYTE 7
Cardiff winger danced past challenges in early stages and produced another bright display.
JOSH MAGENNIS 6
Hull City new boy led the line and was a handful. Shifted to left wing late on.
KYLE LAFFERTY 6
Sarpsborg striker got crucial minutes on left flank before being replaced by lively Lavery.
