Sunderland fell to a heavy defeat against Rayo Vallecano in their final pre-season friendly.
Here’s how we rated all 15 of the Black Cats to feature on the afternoon...
Hard to make a case that he could have done much more about any of the goals. Did make one excellent save with his trailing leg early in the second half when Rivera broke free and fired an effort to his near post. 6

Tough game against an excellent opponent. Some good stuff in his game but some tricky moments, too, including for the third goal as a cross beat him at the back post. Another valuable workout for a player still very much on the comeback trail. 5

Good to see him back on the pitch and wrapped a couple of nice passes through the lines, but did look understandably rusty on occasion. 5

Steep learning curve against very good opponents. Made one outstanding block to prevent Rayo Vallecano scoring a fourth when he made a goal line block from a couple of yards. 6
