Sunderland striker Campbell shrugs off four-goal haul

Fraizer Campbell has played down his four-goal haul for Sunderland in their win over Hull City.

The former Manchester United frontman has now scored five times in two games in Portugal with Benfica to come next on Tuesday.

"It's always great to get on the scoresheet," Campbell told SAFC TV. "I've scored four, the team played well and we've had a good run out.

"We've had some great football being played from the team. I think Steed passed to me for every goal but yeah, it was fantastic. It's always good to get out there and score a goal.

"You can't just score goals by yourself. You need to have a good team behind you. You make good runs and quality players like Steed and Jordan, they're going to find you and that's what they've done tonight."

On being told the manager had described his display as a "striking masterclass", Campbell added:

"Cheers! I don't know what to say to that. It was good fun."
