David Moyes happy with Sunderland performance despite defeat

David Moyes was happy with Sunderland's performance despite a 1-0 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur, after the Black Cats slipped to a fourth loss in five Premier League games so far this season.

The former Everton and Manchester United boss believed his side had the best chance of the game and praised his players for their effort at White Hart Lane.

"It was a tough game," he said. "We didn't get enough of the ball to really dictate the game. We were up against it early on, but we were resilient, stuck at it and probably had the best chance.

"I know they had a lot of opportunities but we had the best one from Steven Pienaar. I've got to praise the lads for sticking at their task and take some positives from it.

"We gifted them [Kane's goal] but in the rest of the game we worked really hard to protect our goal and not give things away.

"The fans were great. To be truthful I think they appreciated that the boys hung in there and stuck at it."
