Darren Bent was buzzing after Sunderland's 1-1 draw with Arsenal.
England striker Bent rated Sunderland's performance against Arsenal as the best of his time at the club so far.
He told safc.com: "A couple of years ago Sunderland might have crumbled after their freak goal but it shows the character of this football club now that we came back.
"That was probably the best performance during my time at the club. Liverpool at home last year was good but I think this one matched it, if not better."
