Paddy McNair scored twice as Sunderland beat Championship side QPR in the third round of the EFL Cup at Loftus Road.

The visitors fell behind on the hour mark when Brazil midfielder Sandro hooked in a half-volley.

Ex-Manchester United midfielder McNair levelled 10 minutes later, finishing off a one-two with Duncan Watmore.

McNair then tapped in the rebound after Matt Ingram parried Ibrahim Ndong's strike to earn the Black Cats a trip to Southampton in the fourth round.

Both of Sunderland's wins this season have come in this competition, with new manager David Moyes yet to record a Premier League victory since taking over.
