Amad Diallo hands Sunderland play-off boost in comeback win as Rangers and Celtic old boys play part

Amad Diallo stepped up once again for Sunderland as he netted a stunner in a comeback win.

The former Rangers loanee has found the kind of form Giovanni van Bronckhorst was hoping he would get when he snapped him up on a loan deal from Manchester United but things didn't work out in Glasgow for the attacker. However, fast forward 12 months and he's really proved a key signing for Tony Mowbray as he kept alive hopes of an end of season play-off spot with the winner against Birmingham City at the Stadium of Light.

The 20-year-old took a nice touch out wide from a cross-field ball before charging down towards the box. He skipped inside past two defenders with a lovely piece of skill before curling his effort across the goalkeeper into the bottom right hand corner to send the home fans wild. It was a 12th league goal of the campaign for the one-time Ibrox man.
