Moyes admits making quick escape after latest Sunderland defeat

Sunderland fans again turned on manager David Moyes during defeat at home to Swansea City.

Fans chanted 'We Want Moyesy Out' after Swansea took an early lead through Fernando Llorente's 9th minute header, with owner Ellis Short watching on from the director's box.

When asked why he chose not to clap the fans at the final whistle, Moyes said: "The fans have shown their disappointment at me.

"I didn't want to make it any worse so I got myself quickly down the tunnel."

When asked how he goes about winning back the fans, Moyes said: "We didn't play well. We are not saying anything different.

"Things disrupted that a little bit, the injuries in the first half didn't help. Winning games is how you change it.

"The mood after Hull City was great. We tried to go out and do the same today but I really do think the first goal was going to be crucial."
