Amad Diallo continues post Rangers form as Celtic favourite Patrick Roberts nets in Sunderland win

Amad Diallo and Patrick Roberts were both on target as Sunderland thumped Wigan Athletic in the English Championship.

The former Rangers loanee - who had a difficult spell north of the border - is starting to live up to the reputation that earned him a mega-money move to Manchester United as he netted a stunning goal as part of a 4-1 away win. It was his sixth goal of the season in England's second tier as he continues his post Light Blues revival after becoming a clear first pick with boss Tony Mowbray and the fans at the Black Cats.

He was joined on the scoresheet by Celtic favourite Roberts who rounded off an incredible passage of play to grab his third goal of the campaign to date. Diallo's current red-hot form has had the ex-Hoops attacker featuring more often from the bench of late but he has done his chances no harm of causing his club boss a headache after back-to-back starts in recent games. Two familiar faces to Scottish football fans in the shape of ex- Hearts loan striker Ellis Simms and reported Rangers target and one-time Ross County hitman Ross Stewart also bagged a goal each in a convincing away win.
