David Moyes showers praises on Victor Anichebe
The Black Cats' boss has credited the Nigerian for
turning his side’s fortune in the second half against the Hornets with
his massive performance
A second half strike by Patrick Van Aanholt helped the Stadium of Light outfit secure maximum points against Odion Ighalo and Isaac Success’ team.
The former Everton striker returned to the starting lineup after missing out on the Black Cats’ last outing against table-topping Chelsea - which ended in a loss - but was available for
selection against Walter Mazzari’s men and, eventually helped propel the Black Cats to a place adrift of safety.
“I thought Victor, in the second half, was immense,” Moyes said post match.
“He probably turned the game for us in the second half.
“Against someone who maybe looked bigger and stronger than him, he showed that pound-for-pound Victor is as good as anyone.”
In their next topflight encounter, David Moyes leads his charges on a trip to his former hunting ground, Old Trafford, for a Boxing Day encounter against Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United.
