Alex Neil says Sunderland are in the 'perfect situation' with their play-off fate in their own hands going into the final game of the season. The Black Cats needed a last-minute own-goal to spare them defeat against automatic promotion-chasing Rotherham at the Stadium of Light, but the draw means that Neil's men will go to Morecambe on Saturday in fifth place, but knowing that a win will guarantee a play-off spot.
And Neil insists that keeping things in their own hands by avoiding defeat was the number one priority when the Millers visited Wearside. "The key thing is that it is still in our own hands," he said.
"Of course, we wanted to win the game but I always thought it was going to be a cagey one. But having things in our own hands going into the match is the perfect situation.
