The win-secured through Nordi Mukiele's first-half strike and a late Ladislav Krejci own goal - continued their unbeaten home run.

"It was difficult, especially the second half," Sadiki said after the game.

"I think we started quite well with the goal of Nordi. Then in the second half, we dropped a little bit, got lower on the pitch. Maybe we could have been a bit higher, but then we got this goal from them, so it's good.

"Sometimes it's not quite about the performance, it's about the result, and we did what we could to get what we needed from this game."

The DR Congo international admitted Wolves caused problems after the break, but praised Sunderland's structure and ability to manage the game under pressure.
