Sunderland defender Phil Bardsley has admitted that he has had a 'disastrous season' with much of the campaign spent on the sidelines.
The former Manchester United right-back was among the scorers in his side's 1-1 draw with Southampton at the weekend, but he is disappointed with his own campaign.
"Hopefully that goal will keep us up. It's nice to get on the scoresheet after a disaster of a season for myself personally," he told Sky Sports News.
"I'm delighted that I've been able to put something towards this season and give something back. I can't wait for the end of the season.
"I've enjoyed every minute of six seasons at Sunderland, but this one has been the most difficult in terms of injuries and not being as fit as I have been previously when I've been at the best of my form. It's been disappointing season all-round and hopefully I can put that right."
Sunderland need a point against Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend to ensure that they remain in the Premier League next season.
