Defoe impresses in keepy-up challenge

Sunderland striker Jermain Defoe has proved that he is not just skilful with a football as he impressed in a keepy-up challenge involving a tennis ball.

The former Tottenham Hotspur forward took on the task following his winning strike in the Wear-Tyne derby last weekend.

Defoe managed to score 76 in the keepy-up challenge, which is a high score for his teammates to beat, but he was less successful when asked to switch to a creme egg.
