Ross Stewart showed his never say die attitude as he raced through on goal to hand Sunderland a vital advantage against Sheffield Wednesday. He struck the first blow in the play-off semi-final between the two teams, slamming a rebound into the back of the net after Bailey Peacock-Farrell kept out his initial effort.
The goal epitomised everything Black Cats supporters love about the Scotsman as he chased a lost cause and robbed the ball off Sam Hutchinson 40 yards from goal. The Wednesday defender couldn’t get near him as he raced into the penalty area and made no mistake at the second time of asking.
Sunderland legend Kevin Phillips, at the Stadium of Light as part of the Sky Sports panel, was impressed by the endeavour shown by the 25-year-old.
