Eliezer Mayenda was on cloud nine after scoring twice in the absence of Wilson Isidor to prove that he can handle the goalscoring burden up front.
HAPPY TO SCORE TWO
"A good night today. I am just very happy to score two goals today, it was the most important that we won the game so I am very happy."
DIFFERENT GOALS
"The first one was a little bit wild but a goal is a goal! So, it is good. The second one was more different, a really good cross from Trai and you have to stay calm in front of the keeper to make the header. It was two different goals and the second one was really good."
FAN CELEBRATIONS
"It was an amazing feeling to celebrate my goal in front of the fans. That is football. Sometimes the supporters can say 'Eliezer looks a little bit cold' or something like that. But then tonight it is an amazing feeling to score in front of the supporters. I have to thank the supporters for all their support. Again, today the support was really amazing. It's just amazing to score in front of the people."
PROUD OF THE LADS
"Today was a really good game for all of the players. I am really proud of the team because we made really good intensity today. It is true that we lost the last two games but we deserved this win because we worked very well today. I am very happy for the win."
300 FOR LUKE
"He is an amazing player and a very good person, that's the most important thing. Luke has helped me a lot this season and last season because that was my first season at Sunderland. He helps everybody every day. He has a good leadership in the team and he's very important for the team. Very strong, very smart. Sometimes he can go crazy! But that is good for the team spirit. He's an amazing person."
ONTO CARDIFF
"We have to keep going, same team spirit and mindset. 11 games left, we have to try to play like tonight in every game and put our intensity into every game. We need to stay positive in every situation. We will train for the same intensity to play like tonight, or a little bit better, in every game. We have to keep pushing."
