Sunderland boss Di Canio: No slide against Everton!

Sunderland boss Paolo di Canio has explained his low key celebrations for victory over Sunderland.

There was no repeat of his derby slide today, and Di Canio later revealed the reason why.

He said: "It was too early. I can't dive every time. Already yesterday, it was difficult to find another pair of trousers.

"The tailor came and I wasn't happy at the beginning because they were too short and too soft.

"I said: 'You have to make sure I have the right ones for tomorrow', otherwise I was going to wear the ones I used last time dirty."
