Sunderland boss Roy Keane has warned his side not to be carried away by moving into the automatic promotion places following Saturday's 2-0 victory over Hull City.

The Black Cats extended their unbeaten run to 13 matches courtesy of goals from Jonny Evans and Stern John, but Keane has urged his players not to take their foot of the gas as the promotion race moves towards a thrilling finale.

"I've not even seen the table. I keep telling you that it doesn't matter where we are now. It's at the end of the season when it counts," said Keane.

"If we finish second in the table at the end of the season then we'll be delighted.

"But Preston won today and we're still far from being in pole position. However, the players have been fantastic and I can't praise them highly enough.

"We'll enjoy the international break now and the players fully deserve their break. They've gone about their job superbly in recent weeks."
