After a goalless first half, the Black Cats took the lead when Alex Pritchard’s low cross was flicked on by Ellis Simms and Amad converted at the back post.
Pritchard then doubled his side’s lead when he controlled Lynden Gooch’s cross and beat goalkeeper George Long with a low strike, before Ellis Simms added a third in stoppage time.
The result moves Mowbray’s side up to 10th in the table, one point off a play-off place.

13. Patrick Roberts (sub) - 6
Lost the ball a couple of times but showed some fine touches as well. What an option to have off the bench. 6 Photo: Martin Swinney
14. Dennis Cirkin (sub) - 6
Showed his strength to help see it out in his return from injury. 6 Photo: Frank Reid
