Sunderland 3-3 Middlesbrough: Six goals and two red cards

This game had everything and yet it's most dramatic act was saved for the 96th minute when Callum McManaman equalised for Sunderland before charging into the Middlesbrough dugout and cocking his ear at his former West Brom boss Tony Pulis - it was a fitting finale.The goal salvaged a point for the Championship's bottom club after a derby in which both sides surrendered the lead and had a man sent off.Jake Clarke-Salter and Boro's Adama Traore were dismissed before half-time. Sunderland were leading 1-0 at the break thanks to Joel Asoro but two early second-half goals from Patrick Bamford and Grant Leadbitter reversed the scoreline.  Sunderland's Callum McManaman scored late on to have the final say against Middlesbrough McManaman hit the sixth goal of a Tees–Wear derby that also witnessed two red cards Sunderland manager Chris Coleman congratulated McManaman at full time on Saturday MATCH FACTS AND LEAGUE TABLE  Sunderland (5-3-2): Camp 4; Matthews 5, O’Shea 6, Kone 5, Clarke-Salter 3, Oviedo 6.5; Honeyman 6 (McGeady 79, 5), Cattermole 7, McNair 5 (Williams 42, 6.5); Asoro 6.5, Maja 6 (McManaman 65, 7)Subs not used: Steele, Jones, Browning, RobsonScorers: Asoro 11, Williams 58, McManaman 90Bookings: Maja, McGeady, OviedoSent off: Clarke-SalterBoro: Randolph 5; Shotton 6, Ayala 5.5, Gibson 6, Friend 5.5; Besic 7, Leadbitter 7 (Clayton 76, 5); Traore 5, Bamford 8, Downing 6 (Howson 77, 5); Assombalonga 6 (Harrison 64, 5.5)Subs not used: Dimi, Cranie, Fry, BakerScorers: Bamford 50 and 68, Leabitter 53 penBookings: LeadbitterSent off: TraoreStar man: BamfordAtt: 29,048Ref: T Robinson 7  Season at a glance Live tables Fixtures Scores Championship Premier League Championship League One League Two Scottish Premiership Scottish Div 1 Scottish Div 2 Scottish Div 3 Ligue 1 Serie A La Liga Bundesliga More tables More fixtures More scores Jonny Williams levelled before Bamford got his second with what looked like the winning goal. McManaman, though, struck at the death to claim a point and in doing so make one to Pulis, the man he blames for his lack of game time at West Brom.The contest was just 40 seconds old when Asoro, with a signal of Sunderland's intent, lashed narrowly over from 25 yards.That may well have been a range-finder for the Swede but his goal was all about instinct, prodding home from barely three yards out after stealing between defenders Daniel Ayala and Ryan Shotton to connect with striker partner Josh Maja's headed flick.
