Elliott continues to shine at Sunderland

Stephen Elliott continued the fine start to his Sunderland career with two more goals as Mick McCarthy’s side secured a well-deserved victory to maintain this season’s unbeaten home record in the Coca-Cola Championship.

While Elliott will take the plaudits for his brace, Darren Carter made a dream start to his three-month loan on Wearside by ensuring Sunderland went in for the break ahead at 2-1.
