GOALLESS draw specialists West Brom bored their way to an away point and stalled the promotion hopes of Regis Le Bris' Sunderland side.
The Baggies racked up their FIFTH 0-0 draw in their last nine games at a grumpy Stadium of Light.
Wearside became an entertainment-free zone for the evening.
Sunderland at least tried to score and dominated possession but ended up registering their THIRD 0-0 draw in the last five games.
It was hardly a good advert for visiting manager Carlos Corberan, who has been linked with the vacant Leicester City head coach job. His side only had eight touches in the Sunderland penalty area.
