Battling Black Cats rescue point

02 March 2013 17:47

Stephane Sessegnon got Sunderland out of jail as they fought back to snatch a 2-2 draw against Fulham.

The Londoners led 2-0 after 35 minutes through Dimitar Berbatov's audacious penalty and Sascha Riether's close-range finish.

However, Craig Gardner, who had conceded the spot-kick, dragged the Black Cats back into it when he too converted a penalty before the break, and Sessegnon prevented his side from slipping to a fourth successive Barclays Premier League defeat when he fired home with 20 minutes remaining.
