Sebastian Larsson was delighted to deliver a derby win on Sunday to Sunderland fans.

The Swede was influential in the shock 1-0 win at Newcastle United.

Larsson said: "It doesn't get much better than that. It tops the two performances when we won 3-0.

"I know that might sound a bit strange but to get the winner that late is a fantastic feeling.

"I do think we deserved it as well. We had by far the better chances but the way the last few games have gone, we haven't really scored so you get nervous towards the end.

"But when you get such a late winner like that, the relief is something else. It was one of the better days I have had.

"When you can give our fans something like that to enjoy just before Christmas it's not too bad."
