Sunderland striker Kenwyne Jones was pleased to score his first goal in seven games in the 2-1 defeat at home by Manchester United.

The 24-year-old Trinidad & Tobago international's strike wasn't enough to prevent a fourth straight defeat for the Black Cats, who face a nervy final few weeks of the campaign.

Jones told the Sunderland Echo: "It was definitely a relief.

"When you go so long without scoring it preys on your mind, so I'm happy to get that out of the way and hopefully there will be a few more to come.

"I'm not about setting targets for how many more goals I can get between now and the end of the season. All that is important to everyone at the club is getting enough points to stay in the Premier League.

"The fact is we lost again, but there are a lot of positive things we can take from Saturday's game.

"We looked a lot livelier and we have to take that forward into the last six games."
