Jack Ross’s Sunderland have got the better of Portsmouth over two legs in the League One playoff semi-finals.
Stephen Elliott has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to Sunderland’s success over Portsmouth in the League One playoff semi-finals.
Sunderland played out a goalless draw with Portsmouth away from home at Fratton Park in the second leg of their League One playoff semi-final tie on Thursday evening.
The Black Cats won the first leg of the tie 1-0 at the Stadium of Light last weekend, meaning that Jack Ross’s side have progressed to the playoff final 1-0 on aggregate.

The former Republic of Ireland international has praised Sunderland goalkeeper Jon McLaughlin for his saves against Portsmouth, and has also hailed 26-year-old defender Alim Ozturk for establishing himself as an important player in Ross’s team.
