Sunderland got a draw at Etihad Stadium against Manchester City that does not serve you to leave the last place in Premier League. Without Carlos Cuéllar in the team, the Black Cats achieved turn around the scoreboard after Fernandinho goal, but finished adding a single point result from the ultimate goal Nasri.
In match postponed Premier League and the final of the Capital One Cup in memory, Poyet's men were forced to add more of a point to come to salvation, but after having the goal in his hand, lost it.
