Sunderland managed to hold onto a point against a persistent Sheffield Wednesday on Wednesday night as David Jones' second half screamer cancelled out George Honeyman's third minute goal to share the spoils at the Hillsborough Stadium.
The visitors could not have asked for a better start as they took an early lead through Honeyman who blasted home from close range after Aiden McGeady was found in space in the 18-year-box.
The Republic of Ireland international timed his run perfectly into the Owls' area before sliding the ball across the face of goal past the advanced Keiren Westwood and allowed the 22-year-old midfielder to find the back of the net through a crowd of Wednesday defenders on the line.
