Sunderland reached the play-offs thanks to a 1-0 win over Morecambe on the final day.

They suffered their own injury blow, scorer Nathan Broadhead, on loan from Everton, went off after opening the scoring.

It would be a major blow if Broadhead was to miss the first leg of the play-off semi-final given Sunderland’s limited attacking options.

Neil subbed Ross Stewart late on as a precaution.
