Lee Gregory scored the game’s only goal from the penalty spot at Hillsborough, moving Darren Moore’s side up to fourth in the table ahead of Plymouth, Wycombe and Sunderland.

The Black Cats’ play-off hopes remain in their own hands, though, as Alex Neil’s team have played a game less than both Plymouth and Wycombe ahead of them.

Oxford also kept their faint play-off hopes alive after beating MK Dons 1-0 at the Kassam Stadium.

That result saw The Dons miss a chance to move back into the automatic promotion places after second-place Rotherham were beaten 2-0 at Burton.

As a result, league leaders Wigan moved a step closer to promotion despite a 2-2 draw at Ipswich.
