Sunderland defender John O'Shea: "There was very little in the game. Both teams went for the win and we had a couple of good chances to nick it. We showed great sprit and that's what we will need. We have stopped the rot now, but look, we know we have to battle."
Goalscorer Jack Rodwell: "It hit my arm but they all count! It happened so quickly, luckily the ref gave it."

"The Aston Villa bench looked like they have won a cup tie. Even the fans, that is not just league win. They are back fighting in this league.
"Ben Foster did not too particularly well in the first half. If he let one through his legs in the first half, it would have gone viral. To do what he did at the end, unthinkable."

Aston Villa's first Premier League win since December 7th. You'd think they'd won the league, the way they are celebrating right now. But what a way to do it too, right at the end. The last kick!

"Three mistakes in one set of play from Ben Foster. He hasn't covered himself in glory in this match so far anyway.
"Unbelievable for him to make so many errors in such a short period of time. Goalkeeping is a horrible job when you make ONE mistake, but three? It has cost his team a point."

"Alan Hutton cannot go in there, he has put his studs up on Saido Berahino. That is unacceptable. As a player, you need to let the ball go down to a reasonable level."

Oooof! That's a nasty one! Alan Hutton catches Saido Berahino on the touchline, high? Very high? He almost cuts the striker in half! Both players are booked after the striker reacts.

BBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNulty at Villa Park
"For the first time tonight Aston Villa's fans are showing signs of frustration with their team. Saido Berahino's equaliser appears to have knocked their fragile confidence and the zip they demonstrated in the first 45 minutes has gone out of their play. Five minutes to rediscover it."
