Swansea boss Russell Martin praised Sunderland after his side's victory in South Wales - and singled out his former teammate Alex Pritchard as a key man for the Black Cats. Martin's side won 2-1 at the Swansea.com Stadium yesterday, with both their goals coming in the first half before Jack Clarke pulled one back for the Wearsiders shortly after the break.
It was a result that ended Sunderland's four-game unbeaten run, and which inflicted their first defeat in over a month. But Martin was impressed with what he saw, and said they will be tricky opponents for a lot of Championship sides.
And he also paid tribute to Pritchard, who played alongside him at Norwich City - some of the time under ex-Sunderland boss Alex Neil. "They are really good team, by the way, I really like them, Sunderland, and the way they play," said Martin.
