Swansea City 0-0 Sunderland: Swans' 10 men dig in after Charlie Patino red

Swansea City's 10 men held on for a gutsy goalless draw at home to Sunderland in an eventful Championship encounter.

Swansea were being outplayed even before midfielder Charlie Patino was sent off for two yellow cards after half an hour.

Although Sunderland twice hit the woodwork in a dominant first-half display, the Swans had a golden chance to take the lead against the run of play, but Jamal Lowe's penalty was saved by Anthony Patterson.

Sunderland kept the pressure on their dogged opponents after the break but they were frustrated by a combination of wasteful finishing, wholehearted defending and inspired goalkeeping from Swansea's Carl Rushworth.
