O'Neill: Sunderland deserve more big nights

Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill hopes his players want more of the atmosphere generated from their FA Cup defeat to Everton.

Having seen a crowd of 43,140, including around 7,000 travelling fans, turn up for the game, he is hungry for more.

O'Neill said: "This football club should have high expectation, it should have - honestly, I am not just saying that, it should have high expectation.

"It's a great club with a great history, and nights like this here are few and far between.

"If there is any consolation to be drawn from all of this here, that experience should be something that we want to have more of."
