Watch as Amad Diallo nets stunner to send Sunderland into play-offs

This is the moment that Amad Diallo fired Sunderland into the Championship play-offs.

The former Rangers player scored a second-half stunner to set the Black Cats on their way to a 3-0 win over Preston this afternoon.

And on the final day of the regular Championship season, Tony Mowbray's men sneaked into the final promotion play-off position.

Sunderland took the sixth and final play-off spot thanks to their victory at Deepdale and Blackburn's win over Millwall.

They will now face Luton Town over two legs for a place at Wembley to fight it out for a place in the Premier League.

Diallo fired a tremendous curling effort into the far top corner after cutting in on his left foot.

The 20-year-old has been in inspired form in the Championship this term, netting 12 goals in 40 appearances.

It's fair to say the Manchester United youngster has enjoyed a more successful loan than at Rangers last year. He scored 3 in 13 appearances under Giovanni van Bronckhorst.

Alex Pritchard and Jack Clarke netted the other goals for Sunderland today.

Meanwhile, Rangers star Alfredo Morelos would be a good fit for Everton.

That's the viewpoint of ex-Toffees attacker Kevin Campbell.

Michael Beale confirmed on Sunday that the striker would be leaving Ibrox this summer.

And with the out-of-contract player soon to be a free agent, Campbell reckons his former side could do much worse than sign the Colombian.

The 26-year-old is a proven goalscorer in Europe and has, over the piece of his time in Glasgow, been a constant threat up top domestically too.
