Local boy Adam Johnson returned to haunt Sunderland as Manchester
City snatched a dramatic 1-1 draw on Wearside to maintain their
Champions League hopes.
The substitute, who turned down a January move to the Stadium
of Light to head for City instead, came off the bench to level in
stoppage time and finally end the home side's stubborn resistance.
It was hard luck on Black Cats goalkeeper Craig Gordon, who pulled
off five fine second-half saves, three of them from Newcastle old
boy Craig Bellamy, to protect the lead given to his side by Kenwyne
Jones' ninth-minute header.
