Sunderland fullback Donald Love: We want long FA Cup run for fans

Sunderland fullback Donald Love insists there's no regret over their FA Cup stalemate with Burnley.

It means a replay for Sunderland, which Love insists is a challenge they will embrace.

He told the Sunderland Echo: “It's not ideal, especially with the amount of injuries we've got, but we've just got to go there and beat them.

“Everyone wants a good cup run, especially the fans.

“At the end (on Saturday) they gave us a bit of grief, but they backed us the whole way and I think they understand the way Burnley played.

“You grow up watching the FA Cup, that's what you watch on TV.

“Now it's mostly where young lads get their first chance to show what they can do."
