Sunderland manager Jack Ross speaking on Sky Sports:

"I'm delighted to win as we played against a good team today with a lot to play for.

"We got asked a lot of questions after losing here last week and we knew with other results today, the pressure was on us.

"I'm delighted not just with the result, but the manner of the performance as well."

All over and a thoroughly professional showing from Sunderland.

Total football from Sunderland right out from the back as Jon McLuahglin starts it all off and then eventually Will Grigg forces a save with a smart shot in the Doncaster box.

Oles all round!

Ali Crawford tries his luck with a free-kick from distance for Doncaster but that causes Jon McLaughlin no trouble whatseover and goes well wide.

Four minutes added on at the end of the 90....

Last knockings now as Tyler Smith and Luke O'Nien tangle in the air.

O'Nien gets the free-kick after landing awkwardly but not too sure why.

Meanwhile, Grant Leadbitter gets a couple of minutes on pitch to replace Max Power.

Easy now gents!

A few afters going on off the ball after Danny Andrew over runs the ball and then collides with Max Power in his follow through.

Andrew in the book as we move towards the 90 minutes.

So Sunderland closing in on another three points that will see them just stay ahead of Portsmouth in third place.

Their goal difference is currently three better than Pompey's.

Leaders Luton incidentally are in action tomorrow against Accrington.

Last change for Doncaster as Mallik Wilks is replaced by Tyler Smith.

Luke O'Nien down and holding his legs for Sunderland after a bit of a tussle with Mallik Wilks.

Looks OK though despite an initial concerning look from his manager Jack Ross on the touchline.

Herbie Kane - who sounds like a character from one of my toddler's reading books - tries to put in some dangerous crosses from the Doncaster left.

Nobody can get a head on it for his side but he does manage to force a corner.

Nothing comes from it though as once again, Sunderland's back four get it clear.

Second change for the hosts as Charlie Wyke makes way for Will Grigg.

Wyke looks like a man who needs a good sit down and a pint of something cold!

He's certainly put a shift in today...

First change for Sunderland sees Aiden McGeady replaced by Lynden Gooch.

Warm applause all round the Stadium of Light for McGeady running the show once again for the hosts.

Doncaster still showing plenty of endeavour to try and force a way back in.

But the final ball or the set piece delivery not quite on target to put Sunderland under any real pressure.

Andy Butler is adamant he should've had a penalty for Doncaster.

He tangles with James Dunne around the penalty spot as the free-kick comes in from Ali Crawford.

Nothing doing says Mr Woolmer.

Lee Cattermole booked shock!

It's the first person to go in Andy Woolmer's book this afternoon for a badly-timed lunge on Mallik Wilks.

Industrious and hard-working at present this performance from Sunderland.

Don't forget - they still have to host fellow promotion chasers Portsmouth in their final home league game.

Pompey took the honours on penalties in the Checkatrade Trophy final last month at Wembley no less...

At the top of the Championship, Leeds United's automatic promotion hopes were dented by losing to 10-man Wigan at Elland Road and boss Marcelo Bielsa acknowledged that his side had to win today.

Defeat - coupled with victory for Sheffield United - leaves Leeds third in the table, behind the Blades on goal difference with three games left.

“Any explanation that I could give would be meaningless," Bielsa told BBC Radio Leeds.

"It is not a game you could analyse, because you have a games like today’s that you don’t deserve to win – but you have to win.

“The result condemns seriously my work. If I look for reasons, I have no explanation that could justify a loss like today’s loss.

“This was a game that we had to win and it was a game that we could win… but we didn’t.”

One team who will be in League One next season are Bolton, whose two-season stay in the Championship came to an end at the University of Bolton Stadium as defeat by Aston Villa confirmed their relegation.

Trotters boss Phil Parkinson is hopeful that the club can bounce back stronger after being taken over earlier this week.

"It's blow for everybody connected with the club, but we've had a takeover this week, we've got new owners and hopefully the club can move forward in a positive fashion and come back strong next year," Parkinson told BBC Radio 5 live.

"It's been chaotic in my three years here. The first year we got promoted and then had an embargo, the second year we stayed up but were in a very chaotic situation, and it all got too much this year with so many off the pitch problems that it drained the life out of everybody.

"It's been a draining effect on everyone in the club, the new owner's come in and I had a brief chat with him today and he's got a great opportunity to build a club, because Bolton Wanderers is a fantastic club.

"There's so much work to be done, but it can come back stronger and better than before."

On his own future he added: "I'm relaxed about that, I've got promotion from League One before, but I need to sit down with my family in the coming weeks and sit down with the new owner and respect his wishes as well."
