Sunderland HubSunderland drew Manchester United 0-0 on Saturday. The Black Cats' defense gave the Red Devils little space to counter.
What happened?
Matheus Cunha had Manchester United's only shot on target all game in the 93rd minute. The absence of striker Benjamin Sesko also left United without a capable aerial target.
Sunderland looked much better in the first half but faded in the second. A point apiece will appease the Black Cats more.
Why it matters for Sunderland
The draw leaves Sunderland with 48 points, sitting 12th in the Premier League. Manchester United, with 65 points, are all but locked into a 3rd-place finish.
