Liverpool striker Borini: Sunderland my club - for now

Sunderland striker Fabio Borini insists he's fully committed to their survival cause, despite parent club Liverpool's title push.

The 23-year-old striker, who also played for a short time under Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers when he was in charge of Swansea City, said he expected to go back to Anfield at the end of the season.

"My first thoughts are on Sunderland, that's the shirt I'm wearing," said Borini after victory at Chelsea.

"Obviously I watch the Liverpool games and I'm happy if they win and play well but my first thoughts are with Sunderland.

"I need to think about myself, the past is the past. There was a chance to take the penalty, I took the last two penalties and I took this one."
