Sunderland's goals were scored by Will Grigg and Lewis Morgan - one in either half.
Dunne has made a real impression since joining Sunderland, nailing down a regular place at the heart of their defence, having helped Hearts to the top of the Scottish Premiership during a successful loan spell in Edinburgh earlier in the season.
