'Buoyant' Sunderland tipped to make Fulham's FA Cup replay difficult after 'stubborn' display

Dion Dublin and Ashley Williams were left impressed by Sunderland's display at Fulham. The Black Cats thought they'd won it late on through 15-year-old Chris Rigg, only for officials to rule the goal out for offside in the build-up.

Tony Mowbray's side were more than a match for Premier League opposition to tee up a replay at the Stadium of Light. Former Swansea City defender, Willams, told Match of The Day: "They were very good at both ends of the field. They defended very well and they were stubborn.

"It was at the top end of the pitch where I thought they were impressive. Six minutes into the game and Clarke presses Diop into a mistake and it's a really clever and calm finish.
