Keane wants Elliot to lead charge

ROY KEANE reckons Stephen Elliott could play in goal — and still get his name on the scoresheet.

Sunderland boss Keane wants the Republic of Ireland striker to keep “making up for lost time’ and fire the Black Cats into the Championship promotion pack.

Elliott has hit three goals in two starts since returning from a seven-week injury lay-off. The 22-year-old Dubliner struck twice in the 3-1 home win over Colchester and followed up with the equaliser in last Friday’s 1-1 draw against Mick McCarthy’s Wolves at Molineux.
