Ross Stewart admits he needed luck on his side to edge his Championship goals tally into double figures. The Scotland international scored his tenth league goal - and 11th in all competitions - in Sunderland's 2-0 win against Middlesbrough at the Stadium of Light this lunchtime.
But the goal came after Stewart had seen his penalty kick saved by Boro keeper Zak Steffen, with the rebound falling kindly for the striker to tuck the ball home from close range. Stewart had won the penalty when he was fouled by Dale Fry five minutes into the second half, with the Boro defender also sent off for a professional foul.
Stewart said: "It was good to get another goal, albeit there was a bit of luck needed but you take those all day. There was a wee bit of luck there, but as a striker you maybe need a couple of those a season!
