Januzaj: Hard work is key to Sunderland survival
Adnan Januzaj insists his Sunderland side must return from the international break with a desire to work hard if they are to survive relegation from the Premier League.
The Black Cats have got just ten games left to safe their season, currently seven points adrift of 17th-placed Swansea City at the bottom of the table.
A draw against Burnley proved a welcome relief last time out, however, ending a run of three successive league defeats as the season draws to its close.
But despite the clean sheet in the 0-0 stalemate, Januzaj believes there are still problems at the other end of the pitch, reflecting on a sixth time in seven matches they have failed to score.

“It won’t be easy but we have shown signs in the last few games,” said Januzaj, on-loan from Manchester United. “We know we need to keep working hard – we can do it.
“We played well (against Burnley) but we missed so many chances.
“It was that kind of day, you can have that every now and then where you miss but hopefully in the next game everything will go in.
“We got the zero at the back which is good, that is the start but now we need to score goals.
“It hasn’t been an easy year but we have to work as a team and everything will be fine.
“All the players are now looking for the win, nothing else.”
