Alex Neil was pleased that Sunderland got over the line in the end and believes it was fully deserved, although it "took ten years off his life".
DESERVED
“I don't think it's any more than we deserved really. I thought the performance was very good and I know it took us to the 95th minute to score the goal, but you couldn't be critical of the amount of times we got the ball into the final third."
JOB DONE
“Okay, maybe the final ball at times, the final run, the final pass, but with 25 shots at goal.... we only had five on target which we certainly need to improve but at this stage of the season it's about getting the job done. We were really dominant, pinned them back in. I'm not bothered who you are, it's hard to beat a team like that who put ten behind the ball.&quo
