A mixture of delight and relief reverberated around the Stadium of Light as the full-time whistle was blown to bring an end to Sunderland's 3-1 win against Stoke City.
After a week dominated by talk of Michael Beale and his struggle to make an impact in the early weeks of his reign, the Black Cats turned the focus fully on on-field matters as Mason Burstow, Abdoullah Ba and Pierre Ekwah all found the net in what felt like a comfortable win over the Potters.
The win ensured Beale's men remain within striking distance of the play-off places and lie level on points with sixth placed Coventry City as a key phase of the season rapidly approaches.
Once again, the Black Cats faithful showed their outstanding support as they roared their side on to a ninth win in 16 home games - but how does the average attendance at the Stadium of Light compare to other grounds across the Championship?
