A proverbial sweet moment for an aptly named young player saw Sunderland through a sticky tie.
George Honeyman's first Sunderland goal also delivered a first win for new manager Simon Grayson.
Without overlying impressing in a disappointingly low-key tie, Grayson's team deserved the win for an urgent approach from the start to frustrate Bury boss Lee Clark on Thursday night.
Honeyman was also a fitting matchwinner.
The 22 year old academy graduate is quick and clever, a real threat. His 70th minute goal was also well taken.
This tie wasn't a live TV pick by accident.
