The chance from Holtby's through ball was a sitter and he should have scored. The header was a tight angle with not much space between the keeper and the post. Probably a six-times-out-of-ten-you-score chance, not really a sitter. The other time he hit the post was actually a pretty difficult chance.
Also, as I suspected, all the post-match focus is on the penalty Sunderland should have had with absolutely zero mention of the penalty we should have had in the first half when Brown went all WWE on Dawson.
Not a perfect performance by any means, but definitely a step in the right direction performance.
The highlights on MOTD made the game look closer than it was. Didn't show our chances at the end, or our break away when Chadli nearly picks out Holtby who was certain to score. Yet they showed some of Sunderland's half chances.
Bizarre really - and like you say the pen incident on Dawson.
