Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill hails his side for producing a "brilliant performance" during yesterday's 1-0 win over Manchester City at the Stadium of Light.

Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill has hailed his side for producing a "brilliant performance" during yesterday's 1-0 win over Manchester City at the Stadium of Light.

Adam Johnson stole the headlines by netting the winning goal against his former club, however O'Neill was delighted with the contribution of each and every one of his players.

"It was a great day, a great performance and to beat Manchester City was a big, big result for us," he told Sky Sports News.

"They are champions of England and they are a really fine side, a fantastic side and early in the game you expect them to come into it and we fought off that challenge and came into game ourselves and scored a goal and created some great chances.

"It sounds crazy to say this but we could have scored a few more, that said Simon Mignolet has also made a couple of great saves in a brilliant performance by the team."

Sunderland have now kept three clean sheets in their last four matches.
