Sunderland stunned the Premier League by beating Manchester City on Sunday afternoon after Phil Bardsley struck the only goal of the game.
Below you can read some of the reaction from after the game.
Sunderland manager Gus Poyet:
“I am very proud, very tired like I played the game. If you can see the players standing on the bench everyone was like they were playing the game that is how much it means to us.
“The proudest time is when you are able to keep a clean sheet against a team like Man City. A team who did not keep a clean sheet before, It is perfection.
Is it match number one in your career?
“It has to be because of the rival, their position and the difference in the squad. We need to make sure we all believe. We showed plenty of things, passing the ball, being brave, understanding danger, defending, putting bodies on line.”
Sunderland goalscorer Phil Bardsley:
“Unbelievable. Midweek was a big win but to get those three points was massive. Manchester City are a top team and we knew it would be tough. Most of all when we had the ball we had great quality.
“The players were nervous earlier in the season but the manager has shown great belief and got the players playing the way he wants. I owe him a lot because he has brought me in from the cold and I want to repay him.
“We were unbelievable defensively. We knew they would press second half. We were resilient and showed great desire to win that football match.
“Wes Brown has shown in training what he is all about. I know it hurt him being out for so long but the team looks unbelievable, he is one of the most natural centre halves England have had for a long time.”
