Two-goal hero Jack Clarke says Sunderland are building momentum after their win at QPR lifted them into the Championship play-off places. The Black Cats won 3-0 at Loftus Road, with Luke O'Nien scoring the opening goal and Anthony Patterson saving a penalty from Ilias Chair to preserve that one-goal lead before Clarke's late strikes, to climb to fifth in the table.
It also completed back-to-back wins for the Wearsiders, following Saturday's home victory against Reading, and Tony Mowbray's men have now lost just one of their last nine league games as they prepare for this weekend's clash with Bristol City at the Stadium of Light.
"It feels like there is some momentum building but we are just taking each game as it comes at the moment, and try to pick up as many points as we can," said Clarke.
