Ross Stewart admits he is relieved to have ended his eight-game goal drought - and hopes his scoring touch has returned at the perfect time to help Sunderland reach the play-offs. Stewart went into Saturday's game against Cambridge United on the back of a barren run that stretched back to the end of February, when he scored twice in the Black Cats' 3-0 win at Wigan.
But he scored another brace as Sunderland beat ten-man Cambridge 5-1 at the Stadium of Light, taking him to 24 for the season and putting him back on top of the League One goalscoring charts. "I was certainly aware of it [the run without a goal] and was probably just as frustrated as anybody," said Stewart.
"As strikers you want to be scoring goals, but at the same time the team have been winning games. When you are winning games that takes over the mood of the camp and that is the most important thing - winning games.
