Sunderland boss Dick Advocaat has called on his players to move on from their triumph over Newcastle United and focus on the next game in hand.
Last weekend, Advocaat earned his first win as Black Cats boss when Jermain Defoe's first-half volley sealed a 1-0 win in the Wear-Tyne derby.
This weekend, the North-East outfit will take on Crystal Palace at the Stadium of Light as they bid to retain their Premier League status.
"We cannot think any more of Newcastle - I have told them that, because we have in principle five games in which we have to do it," Advocaat said in today's press conference.
"We still have a chance in the last two away games, but in principle, we have to do it in the first five games, so the most important game is now tomorrow."
Sunderland are three points above the relegation zone.
