A superb late equaliser from Viktor Gyokeres earned Coventry City a deserved point at promoted Sunderland.
The away side grew into the match and Jonathan Panzo's ferocious 30-yard strike was brilliantly turned on to the crossbar by Sunderland goalkeeper Anthony Patterson before Matt Godden fired an excellent chance wide after the break.
Coventry continued to press though and were ultimately rewarded when Gyokeres picked the ball up centrally 25 yards out, came on to his right foot and smashed a wicked strike into the bottom corner.
Sky Blues boss Mark Robins was marking his 300th game in charge of the club and he will have been pleased with how his side came back in front of a raucous crowd of 40,851 at the Stadium of Light.
