Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill denies that midfielder David Meyler feigns injuries.

Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill has leapt to the defence of his midfielder David Meyler.

The Irishman has been accused by Stoke City manager Tony Pulis of deliberately getting City defender Robert Huth sent off during Saturday's match between the two teams.

However, O'Neill has now seen a replay of the incident and believes that Huth's challenge warranted a red card.

"First of all, I understand what Tony was saying from a general viewpoint because players do have a responsibility to try to keep fellow players on the field of play," said O'Neill.

"This idea that Meyler feigned an injury - I'm sorry, I know David and David is as brave as they come.

"He has had two horrendous injuries himself that he is just recovering from, so from that viewpoint I think Tony is wrong."

Stoke have launched an appeal against Huth's dismissal.
