Sunderland management were delighted with Adnan Januzaj's performance in their EFL Cup win over Shrewsbury Town.

Sunderland made hard work of it, but they eventually overcame a resilient League One Shrews side thanks to the on-loan Manchester United winger's stunning 84th minute strike.

Assistant manager Paul Bracewell, who was carrying out post-match press duties in place of David Moyes, said: “That's one of the reasons why the boss brought him in.

“All of a sudden, he can turn, and it was a great finish to get a result on a tough night."

Bracewell admits that Manchester United loanee Januzaj is a work in progress, but he added: “Some things we were happy with and some things we weren't.

“He's got that ability to deliver something very special like that."
