Sunderland returned to winning ways in spectacular fashion on Saturday with a hard-fought 1-0 derby-day win at home to Middlesbrough. Chris Rigg scored the only goal of the game inside 24 minutes at the Stadium of Light to pull his side back into the automatic promotion places.
An unbeaten West Bromwich Albion remain first but the Black Cats are just one point behind, with Regis Le Bris enjoying an excellent start to life in the Championship. And not only did the points cement Sunderland’s top-two spot, it improved their standing in the bookies’ odds to remain there come May.
