Tony Mowbray suffered a hamstring injury while celebrating Sunderland’s dramatic late equaliser against Watford – but the pain will soon be forgotten if his side enjoy a play-off “party” at Preston next week.

The Black Cats kept their top-six hopes alive with a spirited late comeback in the 2-2 draw with Chris Wilder’s side, with Patrick Roberts scoring a stunning leveller in the fifth minute of added time.

That resulted in scenes of joy in the home dugout, but delight turned to pain for former Hibs and Celtic boss Mowbray.
