Sunderland opened the match like a bottom and winless team but as the afternoon progressed they improved considerably.

Steve Bruce took a risk by leaving out Tom Ince, Nikica Jelavic and Tom Huddlestone from his starting line-up for this Europa League encounter but nevertheless saw Tigers make an impressive start to their campaign. Jordan Lane bagged the opener before Andre Savelio produced two brilliant tries before being sent off due to Connor Wynne. It made for an intriguing finish.
