Sunderland boss David Moyes insists the presence of Patrick van Aanholt offered no extra motivation for victory at Crystal Palace.

The Black Cats ended an eight-game winless run at Selhurst Park, finding their scoring touch and hammering four goals past a hapless Eagles defence.

Moyes said: “I didn't see that as an extra motivation because they're all good friends with Pat.

“I just felt that it was done for the right reasons for the club, for the FFP ceiling and so that we could bring players in."
