Sunderland's faint hopes of finishing inside the automatic promotion places are over as they fell to a shock 2-1 defeat against Fleetwood Town on Tuesday evening. 

Lee Cattermole opened the scoring for the Black Cats on the night, but they were pegged back late on with Paddy Madden equalising for the hosts.

The game looked like it was heading for a draw, but Fleetwood snatched an unlikely winner with Ashley Eastham scoring in stoppage time.

The result means that Jack Ross' side are now six points adrift of Barnsley in the League One table, and will have to make do with a play-off spot this season.

It's certain to be a closely-fought battle to win promotion, and Jack Ross will be hoping that his side can improve on their recent performances which have seen them miss out on a top two finish.

It's safe to say that Sunderland fans weren't happy with their latest showing.
