After a goalless first half, Amad put the visitors ahead with an excellent strike into the top corner. Substitute Alex Pritchard then added a second before Jack Clarke completed the scoring with a low effort.

After Millwall failed to beat Blackburn, Sunderland moved into the top six and will now face Luton in the play-offs.

Sunderland were backed at Deepdale by 5,726 away fans in front of Sky's cameras for the world to see with Wearsiders at Preston catching the eye of Collymore.

On Twitter, he wrote: "The Championship, never fails. Absolute scenes watching Sunderland. Would love to see them back."
