Bruce purrs at Black Cats win
Sunderland boss Steve Bruce was full of praise for his players for producing a result that ranks among the best of the season after the 3-0 win at Chelsea.
The hosts, who sacked assistant Ray Wilkins in midweek, were outplayed and outfought by a Sunderland side who won comfortably with goals from Nedum Onuoha, Asamoah Gyan and Danny Welbeck.
"It's not often you beat this lot 3-0 in their back yard," said Bruce. It won't happen very often again. We really took it to them. The players have been fantastic over the last two weeks and I'm very proud of the performance.
"People are so frightened coming here and no one wants to get humiliated, so we thought we'd give it a go. But you still need the players to perform, like Welbeck, at 19, who was terrific.
"All round, they all produced a fantastic performance. I hope people talk about Sunderland rather than Chelsea's poor performance. It's not a fluke."
