Substitute Joe Rothwell scores a late double as Southampton survive a Sunderland fightback to keep slim Championship top-two hopes alive.
Substitute Joe Rothwell scored a late double as Southampton survived a Sunderland fightback to keep their slim hopes of automatic promotion back to the Premier League alive.
Romaine Mundle pulled one back for the away side after the break with a deflected shot from the edge of the area and Jobe Bellingham curled home a wonderfully hit equaliser but the home side stepped back on it and sub Rothwell scored twice in three minutes to secure the points for Saints. The home side looked to be cruising to a routine victory with 30 minutes left before Mundle's first senior goal gave Sunderland hope and Bellingham then scored the kind of goal his brother Jude would be proud of from 20 yards out.
