Nathan Broadhead's perfect timing keeps Sunderland on course for the play-offs

Justin Time strikes again. If Sunderland's recently acquired knack for scoring late goals was distilled into human form, Time would be the Black Cats' second-top scorer in the league.

His nine goals inside the final ten minutes over the last nine games have delivered 11 points to keep Sunderland on course for a play-off place. Without his contribution, Sunderland would be tenth in the table and facing a fifth season in League One.

In reality, of course, several players have taken on the Justin Time mantle over the last two months. Nathan Broadhead and Ross Stewart have both twice chipped in with late goals, while Elliot Embleton, Dan Neil, Patrick Roberts, Luke O'Nien, and Jack Clarke, have scored one apiece.
