Sunderland boss Tony Mowbray recalls his spat with Roy Keane in Championship promotion race

Tony Mowbray has recalled the day he crossed then-Sunderland boss Roy Keane - and earned a mention in the Irishman's book. Mowbray was in charge of West Bromwich Albion in March 2007 when his Baggies side was involved in a promotion battle with a clutch of clubs including Keane's Black Cats, Birmingham City, and Derby County.

And following Sunderland's 2-1 win at The Hawthorns, with Dwight Yorke and Stern John scoring the visitors' goals, Mowbray took a swipe at Keane's men implying they set up defensively and saying: "I hope Sunderland understand who was the better team. I would suggest we will finish with more points than them.

"If that's the way they play, good luck to them. I would suggest we're a better team than them and we will score more goals and win more matches.
