Henderson staying grounded
Jordan Henderson will not allow himself to be carried away after a memorable week in his fledgling career.
The 20-year-old Sunderland midfielder spent last Sunday afternoon helping the Black Cats to a remarkable 3-0 Barclays Premier League victory over leaders Chelsea, and then headed off to prepare for his senior England debut.
While the win at Stamford Bridge was as deserved as it was unexpected - the Wearsiders had lost 5-0 and 7-2 on their previous two visits - Henderson is well aware that it will count for little if they do not maintain the standards they set last weekend.
"We have proved teams can win at Stamford Bridge," said Henderson. "They had some big players out, but that didn't matter. You can only beat what's in front of you.
"The win will give us great confidence to push on for the season. Anyone can beat anyone on the day, it's just how you play.
"It's too early to say where we can finish. We need to keep pushing on, keep progressing, but we could finish pretty high up. We have got enough talent and character in the team to go on and do well."
