Stephen Elliott has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to Sunderland’s win against AFC Wimbledon at the weekend.

Sunderland got the better of AFC Wimbledon 1-0 at the Stadium of Light in League One on Saturday afternoon.

Aiden McGeady scored the only goal of the match midway through the second half.

Former Sunderland forward Elliott was following the match, and he has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to the win for Jack Ross’s side.

The former Republic of Ireland international has praised 32-year-old former Everton winger McGeady, and he was also impressed with the performance of Lewis Morgan.

The 22-year-old winger was making his competitive debut for Sunderland against AFC Wimbledon following his move from Celtic in the Scottish Premiership on loan on January transfer deadline day until the end of the season.

The result on Saturday means that Sunderland are now fourth in the League One table with 56 points from 28 matches, nine points behind leaders Luton Town.
