It looked as if they may be in with a fantastic chance of ending that wait for a win as Bryan Oviedo gave the Black Cats a surprise lead inside the half-hour with a stunning finish from just outside the box.
However, Millwall would strike with just over 20 minutes to go to keep their recent unbeaten run going and deny Coleman’s side a victory that would have lifted them up to 22nd, two points off safety.
Ejaria’s performance seemed to receive a mixed response. Many of the Sunderland fans who took to social media after the game felt that he looked bright and the side’s inability to use him more often in the second-half was costly.
