'Now to continue our quest for the treble': Sunderland fans react after action-packed win over Barnsley
Goals from Aiden McGeady, Josh Maja and Lynden Gooch put the Black Cats 3-0 up inside 32 minutes, before a brace from Tykes striker Kieffer Moore gave the visitors hope.
Jack Ross' side weren't to be denied though, as Luke O'Nien added a fourth for the hosts seven minutes from time, consolidating Sunderland's position in the automatic promotion places.

Hide Ad@guitarsmiler: Not that often you see a team three up yet still look like they're chasing the game. Still a win is a win if not that convincing. January additions to a thin squad needed. #safc
@jakeyholyoak: Mcgeady, Matthews and Honeyman. Those 3 in particular absolutely brilliant tonight, should’ve been 5 up at half time and got complacent but class win in the end. Ha’way the lads
@mightypedro: Fair play to Barnsley, they made us work for the points tonight. Mcgeady excellent tonight
@PlunkettB: If anyone's not sold on George Honeyman by now like they never will be. The lad would give all his limbs for this club.
