Dan Neil believes that Sunderland may have turned a corner after winning three of their last four matches. The midfielder scored the opening goal in the Black Cats' 2-0 win over Crewe Alexandra on Saturday afternoon.
Patrick Roberts sealed all three points with a neat finish, adding gloss onto the scoreline as Sunderland cemented their place inside the top-six. They currently sit fifth, two points ahead of Sheffield Wednesday, who continued their fine run of form after thrashing Cambridge United 6-0.
However, it seems as though the Black Cats are beginning to adapt to life under Alex Neil, stretching their unbeaten run to four games. In that time, they have sealed impressive wins over Wigan Athletic, Fleetwood Town and Crewe and drew 0-0 with Charlton Athletic.
