O'Neill - Mignolet Was Brilliant

Martin O'Neill insists Sunderland's mood remains upbeat despite losing to Spurs. Martin O'Neill: “The mood has always been upbeat but winning football matches, which we have been doing, gives everyone a confidence boost. “Southampton away was a big win for us, and following it up here on Boxing Day against Man City was great. “Against Spurs, we played with a lot of commitment and a lot of heart, and got ourselves in front just before half-time. “But the disappointment was to concede two goals in three minutes, which knocked us back. "Simon Mignolet has done brilliantly. He made a really great save [from Jermain Defoe] at a time when it might have been 3-1 in the match. And he pulled off another one after that, too. “We had a great win against Man City on Boxing Day which gave us a big lift, so we went into this game in good spirits. "O’Shea will be out [for the Liverpool game]. We’re stretched a bit.” Source: Sunderland-Mad
