Sunderland 1-0 Man City: Gus Poyet salutes Black Cats 'perfection'

Sunderland boss Gus Poyet says he team produced a second-half display of defensive "perfection" to beat Manchester City 1-0 at the Stadium of Light.

Phil Bardsley scored the only goal of the match in the first half, and Sunderland defended well to keep City at bay and record their third successive home win in all competitions.

The win puts the Black Cats on seven points from 11 games, and means Manchester City have suffered 1-0 defeats on each of their last four trips to the Stadium of Light.
