The Black Cats prevailed 1-0 winners thanks to Trai Hume's winner 10 minutes before the interval - a direct free-kick which badly slipped through the grasp of goalkeeper Joe Wildsmith.

See Lewis Cox's Baggies ratings below.

Joe Wildsmith

A horror mistake from the goalkeeper to let Hume's first-half winner slip through. Seemed to go with his right hand to his left but unable to get any purchase on the ball. Terrible error, not his first. Decision time for Mowbray.

Horror 4

Darnell Furlong

Back in the side and could have been the hero on another day. One early chance off the line and later opening somehow blocked. Otherwise not as reliable with the ball as usually.

Chances 5

Kyle Bartley 

Part of a defence not overly stretched by visitors and played role in push for late leveller with a couple of headers but not to be. Needs to use aerial threat more.

Push 5

Torbjorn Heggem

Took an early whack to his ankle and limped for some time before coming off. Struggled from that and not his best display, hope knock is not too serious for Tuesday.
