Here is how the Norwich City players rated as they suffered a 3-0 defeat to relegation rivals Sunderland at Carrow Road.
The Black Cats' moved within a point of Alex Neil's men with a game in hand after cashing in on defensive charity from the hosts in a weak surrender.
Fabio Borini slotted in a first half penalty after Andre Wisdom lunged in on the Italian before Seb Bassong was robbed to trigger a move that saw Jermain Defoe shoot home at the far post.
Wisdom was forced to limp off in the final minute as Norwich finished with 10 men, after making all their three substitutions, and Duncan Watmore completed the rout in stoppage time.
