Sunderland striker Nicklas Bendtner admits he's found his scoring touch despite not being able to see in his current mask.

Bendtner is wearing the headgear to protect his broken nose.

He said: "I will be wearing it on Tuesday (against Everton) and then taking it off for Saturday. I can't even see with it on. I give the ball away because I can't see sometimes. It's not good because sometimes if you see a run, your eye disappears in the mask so you are seeing out of the eye that you can't see the run. It's difficult.

"But it's nice now that I'm scoring a few goals. Obviously I have been a bit disappointed with a few draws that could have gone our way. But we got back to winning ways on Saturday and that is the main thing.

"To try to help the team win is what you really want to do. If my goals helps then great. I'm happy and everyone else is happy."
