Gus Poyet has said that Sunderland’s 4-0 thrashing of Cardiff City “feels fantastic” as the win, which once again saw USA striker Jozy Altidoreleft on the substitutes’ bench, saw the Black Cats pull themselves out of the Premier League’s relegation zone. Sunderland now has seven points from its last three games and lies 17th inthe standings on goal differential when only a few weeks ago it looked near-certainty for relegation.
