SOUNDBITE (English): Gus Poyet, Sunderland manager:

"I don't think it was too much difference between the two teams. A different way of playing the game. And the difference was the goal."

"I would watch the game again - I don't know if it was over-confidence. I don't know if we were so happy and controlling the game that we thought it was a little bit too easy. But it is a good wake-up call. It is not easy, the Barclays Premier League. It is difficult. And if you lose that control and momentum and the home team react, then you have got problems."
