About our team's draw with Arsenal today
We have scored goals at the end of the game many times recently - not just this year, but also last year. Sunderland showed great resilience, and this seems to have become a characteristic of us.
About my key block at the end of the game
I think at that stage of the game, if Sunderland conceded the ball, it would be a heavy blow to the team. That block may mean more than my goal today, but the feeling it brings is irreplaceable.
About my goal today
I was a little confused at the time. When you're in a moment like that, you don't have time to think, everything happened so fast, so I had to go back and watch the replay of that goal later. I just remember volleying hard - luckily it went in!
The draw with Arsenal gave Sunderland a feeling of victory...
I think it is, and to be able to compete against such a top team - Arsenal is probably one of the strongest teams in Europe at the moment, it is a huge boost to our morale and I am very happy about it. But this is only 1 point after all. There is still a lot of work to be done to achieve our goal of relegation this year.
About Sunderland's good start to the season
Several of Sunderland's last 4 games have been difficult to play. We probably didn't expect to get 8 points from these 4 games, so now we are very happy. We train very hard and it shows on the pitch. Although we have achieved good results in these games, the situation in the games is actually very close, and the outcome can easily be reversed, so we must stay down-to-earth and continue to work hard. There will definitely be bad times for Sunderland this season but we will keep going.
