Sunderland captain O'Shea welcomes new trio

Sunderland captain John O'Shea was happy for the new boys in their FA Cup win over Southampton.

Oscar Ustari took over in goal, Santiago Vergini partnered O'Shea in central defence with Wes Brown suspended, and there was a debut for fellow Argentinian Ignacio Scocco up front.

Asked if he was having to learn Spanish, O'Shea replied with a smile: "No, they are learning Irish."
