Highlights of the Sky Bet League One match between Walsall and Sunderland.

Ten-man Sunderland came from two goals down to extend their unbeaten run to 13 games with a 2-2 draw at Walsall - despite Max Power's third red card of the season.

Power was sent off for a reckless challenge on Liam Kinsella after 22 minutes but Aiden McGeady and Lynden Gooch rescued a point after Josh Gordon and Josh Ginnelly had put Walsall in control.

Walsall should have led before the interval but Russell Martin sent a free header wide and George Dobson hit the post after rounding Black Cats keeper Jon McLaughlin.
