Bruce admits gaffe selecting Cattermole for Sunderland win

Sunderland boss Steve Bruce admits he gaffed playing Lee Cattermole in their victory over Wolves.

Bruce said: "That was a mistake on my part. He wanted to play desperately and knowing the kind of kid he is, I made a decision.

"He had only trained one day - he had been out for two and a half weeks - and it was a mistake. In the Premier League, if you are not 100 per cent, then you get found out. I take the responsibility for that."
