David Artell believes his side deserved all three points from their trip to the Stadium of Light last weekend. The Crewe Alexandra boss was full of praise for his sides performance in the immediate aftermath of the result, but has since stressed the effectiveness of Alex Neil's substitutions.
Two goals in the final six minutes of the game saw Sunderland ensure their unbeaten run stretched to seven games. Substitutes Patrick Roberts and Dan Neil spared Alex Neil's blushes after a disappointing performance from the Black Cats.
Nonetheless, the Black Cats boss was pleased his side took all three points as they look to reaffirm their play-off ambitions. Artell on the other hand, is facing a battle to keep his side in the division.
