Sunderland striker Wickham happy with goal in Burnley win

Sunderland striker Connor Wickham was delighted to score in victory over Burnley.

Wickham headed home Anthony Reveillere's 20th-minute cross to open the scoring and when Jermain Defoe slid home Van Aanholt's pull-back 14 minutes later for his first Sunderland goal, the points were secure.

The former Ipswich frontman said: "We played well as a team and we looked comfortable. I have not had much of a chance to play in a game situation with Jermain.

"On Saturday, we got the opportunity and we both managed to score, which is good."
