Premier League Sunderland vs Southampton

Sunderland vs Southampton 2-2

Adam Johnson's fourth goal in two games helped Sunderland come back from 2-0 down to draw against Southampton.

Jay Rodriguez arrowed in a low 22-yard strike to put the visitors ahead and a steered Dejan Lovren volley from a corner extended the lead.
Fabio Borini's shot on the turn then pulled one back for the Black Cats.
Southampton missed several chances and were punished when Johnson powered in a rising shot, with Steven Fletcher having a late Sunderland chance saved.
A home corner fell to Fletcher four yards out but he was denied when Southampton keeper Artur Boruc blocked his effort at point-blank range during a frantic finish.
It is only the second point Sunderland have earned after being behind this season but was not enough to lift them out of the bottom three.
Southampton dominated large parts of the match and injuries to Lovren and substitute Gaston Ramirez - both of whom were carried off on stretchers - will add to the disappointment for Mauricio Pochettino on his first anniversary as manager.
