Nazariy Rusyn has scored two goals in his first season with SunderlandSunderland fought back to get a draw at fellow Championship promotion hopefuls Middlesbrough in an error-strewn yet absorbing Tees-Wear derby at the Riverside.
It took more than an hour for the breakthrough, when Marcus Forss took hold of a scuffed effort, and lashed the dropping ball ferociously beyond Anthony Patterson to put Boro ahead.
Yet, the Wearsiders found an equaliser when Jack Clarke's superb pass from the left picked out Nazariy Rusyn in space, and with a defender in his sights he half-volleyed fiercely past Tom Glover at the near post.
It set up a nervy, end-to-end finish, but neither side could deliver a winner.
