Gillingham boss Neil Harris praised Sunderland's 'excellent' performance as the Black Cats dominated from start to finish against his struggling side. Sunderland enjoyed 80 percent of the possession and had 25 efforts on goal - albeit only five of them on target - but took until the fifth minute of injury time before substitute Nathan Broadhead finally scored the decisive goal at the Stadium of Light.
The Gills were within touching distance of earning a point that would have helped edge them closer to safety when the goal went in, but Harris admits that the Black Cats deserved their win. "I thought Sunderland were excellent," said Harris, who took over at Gillingham at the end of January and has dragged the club out of the relegation zone.
"For spells of the game they made it really difficult for us to get out of our own half, I think they showed the quality they possess. You look at the front four that have started, tens of millions they have moved for at stages of their career.
