Sunderland 2-2 Watford: Black Cats fight back to keep play-off hopes alive

Sunderland kept their play-off hopes alive as they fought back from 2-0 down to earn a stoppage-time draw with Watford at the Stadium of Light.

The Black Cats began brightly but were rocked when Christian Kabasele rose highest to power home a header from Imran Louza's corner.

Ryan Porteous was gifted a free header from another Louza corner to double the lead, but just moments later Luke O'Nien tapped in to give the hosts hope.

Then Patrick Roberts whipped in a superb equaliser into the top corner in the sixth-minute of stoppage time to keep Sunderland seventh and within two points of sixth-placed Millwall with one match left.
