Sunderland came from behind to win 3-2 at Bristol City in the Championship on Saturday. The Black Cats took the lead inside four minutes when debutant Ellis Simms, on loan from Everton, opened the scoring.

The hosts drew level six minutes later through Andi Weimann, before Chris Martin put the Robins ahead. Simms then added a second, allowing Ross Stewart to head home the winner 18 minutes from time.

But now the focus has shifted towards the Carabao Cup with Neil likely to rotate his side ahead of the game against Sheffield Wednesday.
