Spennymoor Town 2-2 Sunderland AFC
Sunderlandâs pre-season training friendly at Spennymoor Town resulted in a 2-2 draw at the Brewery Field on Saturday afternoon, with goals either side of half-time from Aiden OâBrien and Ellis Taylor.
Joe Tait and Jason Kennedy swung the pendulum the hostsâ way shortly after the break to cancel out OâBrienâs opener, but teenager Taylor supplied the leveller with 22 minutes remaining.
Lee Johnsonâs first-team squad featured throughout the first half in County Durham, with Michael Proctor overseeing a youthful side for the second 45.
The first chance of the contest arrived just three minutes in, when Lynden Goochâs well-crafted pass picked out Ross Stewart who squared for Will Grigg, but the striker found himself off balance as he looked to divert it towards goal.
