Sunderland lost 1-0 at Blackpool in League One today.
Sunderland travelled to Blackpool in League One today, in what’d become a hugely important game for either side att he top of the table.

There was little to split the two sides before kick-off, and eventually there would be just the one goal from Luke Garbutt to separate the two promotion chasing sides.
He netted shortly before the hour mark with Sunderland goalkeeper Lee Burge’s error allowing Blackpool to claim the lead and the all-important three points.

Inexcusable from Burge, that. Such a poor error to make, and yet again, we’ve somehow fallen behind in a game that we could, and should, be leading. #SAFC 🔴⚪️
