Alex Neil has saluted his side's 'resilience' and 'never-say-die' attitude after they scored another late winner to keep their play-off challenge on course. The Black Cats scored in the 95th minute to beat Gillingham on Wearside last weekend, and followed that with an 89th minute winner at play-off rivals Oxford United.
Elliot Embleton came off the bench to score the decisive goal in the 2-1 win at the Kassam Stadium, and Neil says his side is showing the same qualities that he believes he had as a player. "What you always want to see in your team is a reflection of yourself," said Neil, whose side has climbed back into the top six following the win at Oxford.
"In recent weeks I would think that that resilience that I would like to think that I had as a player, you can see on the pitch at the moment. And all credit to the lads for that, because that doesn't come easily.
