Sunderland manager David Moyes says that he is pleased with his side's effort in their defeat at Liverpool.

Sunderland manager David Moyes has said that he was left pleased with his side's performance in their 2-0 defeat to league leaders Liverpool.

The Black Cats had kept the scoreline goalless at Anfield until 15 minutes from time, before substitute Divock Origi put the Reds ahead and James Milner made certain of the points with an injury-time penalty.

The result came after back-to-back wins for Moyes's men and, speaking afterwards, he conceded that facing Liverpool had always been a hard ask.

"We feel a bit frustrated as we did a good job in stopping Liverpool. For long periods we frustrated the crowd. They had a lot of the ball but we did a good job," he told reporters at his post-match press conference.

"You look at the quality of Liverpool going forward but we kept our forward players on looking for a goal I have to praise the players for the way they stuck at it. We had a couple of great chances. The one that fell to Duncan Watmore in particular. You don't get big chances coming here.

"I think this was a tough game after the two we have won. We knew all week it would be tough. We worked to try and get a result and had a game plan we stuck to. But in the end, on another day, we could have stopped that first goal. But all credit to the players for trying to get something out of it."

Following Swansea City's win over Crystal Palace, Sunderland have dropped back to the bottom of the Premier League table, sitting three points from safety.
