Gus Poyet "happy" to watch Sunderland performance

Gus Poyet has said that he was "happy" watching his Sunderland side play for the first time this season in their FA Cup replay win over Fulham this evening.

The Black Cats came from a goal down to win 3-1, setting up a fifth-round meeting with Bradford City.

The manager told BBC Radio 5 live: "We played well in the first half, really aggressive and high. We were in control and I was happy with our performance, and I'm happy with the final result.

"Today my players enjoyed playing their football. That was one of the first games this season that I've been really happy, watching my team play."

Sunderland travel to Swansea City in the Premier League on Saturday.
