Adnan Januzaj insists excuses must stop as midfielder calls on Sunderland to start delivering in fight for survival

Basement-side Sunderland are out of excuses and must string together a run of wins in April if they are to survive relegation, on-loan midfielder Adnan Januzaj has said.

Sunderland have won just once in the league since Christmas and are seven points adrift of safety going into the last 10 games of the season, of which six are in April.

'Six games is a lot in a short space of time,' Januzaj told the Sunderland Echo. 'We have to try to win as many games as we can, we can't make excuses, we have to deliver.'

The 22-year-old Belgium international, who is on a season-long loan from Manchester United, said the difference in mentality between the two clubs had taught him a valuable lesson that might help in the fight for survival.
