Sunderland fullback Marcos Alonso was delighted with their derby win at Newcastle United.

Sunderland completed the double over their local rivals for the first time since 1967 and the left-back cut an animated figure after the final whistle.

"I'm very happy with the result," the 23 year-old told safc.com.

"My first taste of the north east derby couldn't be any better, it was a great game. I felt I did well and the whole team really performed."
