Sunderland boss Ricky Sbragia was upset with Kieran Richardson after he was booked in last night's 1-1 draw with Tottenham.

"Kieran was running around like a chicken with no head trying to get himself booked for some reason, and we became undisciplined," said Sbragia.

"Sometimes, maybe we think we are bigger than the game. He was on nine bookings, he had to be careful.

"We are going to lose him for a month, the way things are going.

"He continued getting involved with the referee, he continued trying to make silly tackles and picked up his 10th booking, so that didn't please me.

"And definitely without any doubt, the late goal didn't please me."
