Sunderland won 4-0 away at Crewe Alexandra in League One last night.
The Black Cats moved up into 2nd-place of the League One table with an emphatic win away at Crewe last night.
A Terrell Thomas own goal got the ball rolling for Sunderland, who doubled their lead before half-time through Ross Stewart.
The Scot then double his own tally for the night after the break to take his season tally to nine in 12 League One game, with Leon Dajaku adding the fourth and final goal later on.
It was another fine performance from Sunderland and one Dan Neil came under the spotlight once again – the 19-year-old provided the assist for Stewart’s first goal and put in another classy display in midfield.
He’s now grabbed four assists and has one goal to his name in 11 League One outings so far this season.
See what these Sunderland fans had to say on Twitter about his performance last night:
Great performance, Dan Neil ran the midfield and good to see Ross Stewart back amongst the goals and it feels good to win 0-4 away from home and get the 3 points which moves us back into the top 2 and one point of top , roll on Charlton at home on Saturday #SAFC

Need to get Dan Neil tied down to a new contract, clubs will certainly be looking at him. Just connects play so well and his link up with Ross Stewart is top class. He is a level above League One and he’s only 19. Just controls games at ease. Oozes class , fabulous player #SAFC
