WATCH: Sunderland 2-0 Middlesbrough - goals and highlights

Sunderland were able to return to winning ways after outclassing Middlesbrough at the Stadium of Light.
A crowd of 42,594 saw Sunderland overpower the Teessiders and, although they had to deal with Dael Fry’s second-half red card, it did nothing to alter the course of the game which was already being dominated by Tony Mowbray’s men.
Ross Stewart scored the opener, although he did need a bit of luck following a poor penalty.
Amad Diallo added a second late on after some fine interplay with Patrick Roberts, which is becoming a real feature of Sunderland’s play in recent weeks.
The win sees Sunderland close to within one point of the play-off places, although they will take a break from Championship action next week as they face Fulham in the FA Cup.
