Substitute Jay Rodriguez struck late to salvage Southampton a scrappy 1-1 home draw with Sunderland after Jermain Defoe had given the Black Cats a 79th-minute lead against the run of play at Saint Mary's stadium on Saturday.

The outcome denied Sunderland manager David Moyes his first taste of success at the club which was seemingly within his grasp when Defoe hammered home a penalty after he was brought down by Jose Fonte.
