Sunderland attacker Watmore admits Liverpool miss preying on mind

Sunderland attacker Duncan Watmore admits his miss at Liverpool on Saturday is preying on his mind.

Watmore looked 'in' on goal at the away end, only for a heavy touch to take him too wide and while he did superbly to get the ball back into the danger area, Liverpool scrambled clear.

“It was a very good chance and we worked hard to get that chance, and I'd have loved to have scored it," he told the Sunderland Echo.

“But you have to make sure it doesn't play on your mind, and instead concentrate on improving your own game so that next time you do take that chance when it comes along.

“When you've got someone like JD in the team, he's not a bad person to learn from because finishing is his game.

“I definitely need to improve in that respect and that's what we do on the training pitch."
