Sessegnon attributes Sunderland goal rush to return of confidence

Stephane Sessegnon claims Sunderland's flood of quality goals is down to a new found confidence following the appointment of new boss Martin O' Neill. The Benin international told the Sunderland Echo: "There is a lot of confidence in the team at the moment, which is why we are trying shots like that.

"It was a super strike from Craig because it made sure that we won the game.

"I can't shout about my goal too much because both goals were really good.

"There have been some really good goals recently. Seb Larsson has scored a few and Craig's against Swansea, so I don't know where mine ranks.

"The ball arrived and I took the chance to have a shot. I should have had a second in the second half with my head when it went just wide.

"But I just hope to continue helping us finding the net and winning games."
