Sunderland miss chance to go third in Championship
Sunderland were denied third place in English football's second-tier Championship on Saturday when substitute Nathaniel Ogbeta's last-minute equaliser rescued a 2-2 draw for basement club Plymouth.

The Black Cats had trailed after Ryan Hardie gave visitors Plymouth a surprise lead just before the hour at the Stadium of Light.
Wilson Isidor soon equalised and Trai Hume put northeast side Sunderland ahead in the 72nd minute.
Plymouth, however, secured a point when Ogbeta scored at the far post after Sunderland failed to clear a free-kick.
Only the top two clubs are guaranteed promotion to the lucrative Premier League, with this result leaving Sunderland three points adrift of second-placed Sheffield United who suffered a shock 3-0 loss at home to strugglers Hull on Friday.
The third promoted side is decided in a play-off involving the teams finishing third to sixth.
Middlesbrough and Blackburn both missed chances to strengthen their status as play-off contenders with 2-1 defeats at Preston and Bristol City, respectively.

The Baggies, without a win in three games, were 3-0 ahead before half-time through goals from Alex Mowatt, Grady Diangana and Jed Wallace.
Further goals from Diangana and John Swift underlined West Brom's dominance before Portsmouth debutant Thomas Waddingham pulled one back for the visitors late on.
Defeat left Pompey just two points above the bottom three, with the Baggies in fifth place.
Victor Torp scored twice as Frank Lampard's mid-table Coventry won 2-1 at home to Watford.
Mihailo Ivanovic's goal was the difference as Millwall beat struggling Luton 1-0 to give Alex Neil a first league win as manager of the Lions.
