Dundee United 0-2 Sunderland (ChronicleLive)

All the latest as Alex Neil's Black Cats continue their pre-season preparations with a game against Jack Ross' side.

Sunderland still doing all the pressing. Best chance of the game so far Dajaku plays the ball to Neil inside the box on the left, he turns his man inside and out, then chips the ball up for Stewart in the middle but he steers his header just wide of the left-hand post Should have done better Pritchard's precision cross from the left, Neil steps in front of his man and tries to guide his header into the far corner of the net but the keeper gets across to push it away. Mulgrew, just inside his own half, plays the ball back towards his own goal without looking and his keeper is way outside the box and can only chase it in vain as it rolls into the empty net in front of the Sunderland fans

Sunderland continued their pre-season campaign with victory over Dundee United on Saturday. Here's how Andy rated the Lads!

Let his man get by him too easily a couple of times but made an important clearance right at the end when the home side had half a chance.
