Sunderland winger Wahbi Khazri tells Moyes: I like a fight!

Sunderland winger Wahbi Khazri was happy to be back for their draw with West Brom.

The 25-year-old made his first Premier League start in Saturday's 1-1 draw with West Bromwich Albion after falling out of favour under new boss David Moyes.

When asked if it has been a frustrating spell, he told the Sunderland Echo: “Yes, I am happy because this is my first start this season in the league.

“Now I need to work. I don't have the rhythm to my play because I haven't played as much. I was happy with my performance. I had some good runs and passing was good, but I wasn't happy because we didn't win the game.

“Last season was totally different because I played every game. This season I haven't – I need to work.

“I didn't doubt myself.

“I am aggressive, I like the fight! Every day I work and want to help the team."
