Sunderland defender Anton Ferdinand tried to put Jermain Defoe off, according to the former West Ham defender. The duo said it was all friendly banter though, as they know each other from their time at the Hammers.

  • Defoe said: "Anton Ferdinand is my mate and he said, 'You are going to miss', but I was confident.



    "I was just delighted when it hit the back of the net, I was so happy.



    "I gave him [Ferdinand] a look. They worked really hard as well and I suppose if it was us who had conceded a penalty in the last minute, we would be devastated.



    "But overall it was a good game and we were delighted with the three points.



    "We are delighted for the manager to have his first win."
