Sunderland boss Moyes rues Watmore miss at Liverpool

Sunderland boss David Moyes was left to rue failed chances in defeat at Liverpool.

Moyes was left to bemoan the "fine margins" between winning and losing - Sunderland had a gilt-edged chance when the match was evenly-poised in the 68th minute.

Victor Anichebe set up Duncan Watmore, only for the wide midfielder's poor first touch take the ball too wide. He did get the ball into the danger area, but the home defence scrambled clear.

"I thought we had a great chance at 0-0.

"Victor slips in Duncan Watmore - he can either hit it with his left or he can quickly control it and get a shot away.

"They are the small margins you sometimes need to take.

"Then they go and get their goal.

"I'm not even sure if it was a shot or cross when Origi has flicked the ball over but whatever it was, it was a goal."
