    I've rarely seen a worse top-flight performance than Sunderland's against Crystal Palace recently. They were an absolute shambles.

    But all credit to Dick Advocaat and his side, they came up trumps when it really mattered and have secured safety ahead of Sunday's clash with champions Chelsea.

    Santi Cazorla has completed more passes in the opposition half in this game than any other player has managed this season in the Premier League.
