Palace created plenty of chances against the Black Cats – particularly in the second-half, but were denied by an excellent goalkeeping display. The point ensures it is now 15 games without loss in all competitions, and maintains our unbeaten start to the new Premier League season. Yeremy Pino made his home debut from the start, replacing the injured Ismaïla Sarr – and was Palace’s main bright spark in the early stages. One lovely flick round the corner from the Spain international nearly released Jean-Philippe Mateta early on, only for the forward to be denied by some tight Sunderland defending. In truth, chances were at a premium throughout the first-half, but when a glorious one did arrive, the debutant was again involved.
