00:03As Wimbledon boss Joe Kinnear played down any talk he might be tempted elsewhere,
00:08his players continued to play to their strengths.
00:11They went ahead after seven minutes.
00:13Sunderland goalkeeper Lionel Perez couldn't get the ball away with an attempted punch.
00:17Efena Cuckoo's header did have the required height and distance.
00:21It was Cuckoo who was the central figure at Roker Park today.
00:24A 1-2 with Marcus Gale took him into position to hammer a second goal
00:28before half an hour had been played.
00:31Great finish from the Don Stryker.
00:33This was a sound performance from Wimbledon against the Sunderland side with a good home record.
00:38Peter Reid's side did mount a comeback.
00:40They scored seven minutes from time through Andy Melville.
00:43But it was too little, too late to prevent Wimbledon's unbeaten run being extended to 18 games.
00:49A minute from time, they charged forward again.
00:53Again, it was Efena Cuckoo.
00:54And when the challenge came in from the Sunderland defence,
00:56the ball fell to Dean Holdsworth.
00:59A rubber-stamp victory.
01:00European competition is the prime target now for the team's second in the table.
01:04The boys don't cease to amaze me.
01:07I mean, they've pulled off a magnificent performance today.
01:10They've come to what can be at times a hostile place to come.
01:14They've only lost once, I think, this year on their own patch.
01:18We've come here and scored three.
01:20Action.
