The former Newcastle striker, from Gateshead, did have some apologies to make following the game, however. “My mum’s whole side of the family are Sunderland fans! It’s the first goal I’ve scored against Sunderland. I’ve tried my hardest every time I’ve played against them but it’s the first one I’ve got against them and obviously I’m over the moon that we’ve got the three points as well.
The two wins this week have been great for us. We’ve done well, it’s a great run and to keep that going until the end of the season would be fantastic.”
