Sunderland manager Simon Grayson said:
"We knew they would have a right go at us, ask questions of us, play balls into the box and play with a tempo,"
"It was no surprise to myself and the players. They have done ever so well because we got through the game and that's all we had to do.
"I said to the players before the game that we don't want to be the shock of the round, we wanted to progress and we wanted to make sure we did a professional job.
"That's how it panned out but we had to withstand quite a bit of pressure."
"We made a conscious decision that we needed to rest some of the lads who have played in the last few games because it has been a tough shift.
"I also wanted to see the other lads play as well. They have trained well and been itching to get their name on the teamsheet.
"We went with the changes that we did but it certainly wasn't a weakened team, we didn't go with under-23s - it was players who have been around this squad quite a bit now.
"I had a strong bench just to make sure if anything went through we could come back to that but fortunately we saw enough of the game to win it."
