Aiden O’Brien’s header gave Sunderland the seventh win over Fleetwood
Lee Johnson only made one change to the side that Burton Albion proposed – Callum McFadzean replaced Jake Vokins with Sunderland, who started in the same 3-4-3 formation as the Pirelli Stadium
A crossfield ball from the right found Kyle Vassell on the edge of the field – his first volley had too much to offer Harvey Saunders and went for a goal kick to Sunderland
Max Power had an effort that went just yards over the left post during a good time for the Black Cats
They started where they left off in the first half and finally opened just past the hour after a great job by McGeady, his exact cross hitting the head of O’Brien, who rose above his marker, around to score a header behind Alex Cairns
Max Power finished well as he led Chris Maguire’s corner to the lower left corner behind Cairns
