Sunderland manager David Moyes has praised his side after they claimed a surprise 2-0 victory at Hull City this afternoon.
The result saw the Black Cats earn their first win in 11 attempts, albeit one in vain as their relegation from the Premier League had been confirmed one week earlier.
"I think we have played really well in recent games and things haven't gone well for us," Moyes told BBC Radio 5 live. "In recent games opportunities haven't fallen for us, but today it did do. I'm not putting it down to luck but you need small things to go for you. But I do say that our recent performances have merited more than we got, and today we got a good result.
"After being relegated players have to stand up and show some pride for the club, and today they have done that. We had a really good team performance. If we had shown the character and level of performance today throughout the season we'd have many more points."
Moyes has already confirmed that he intends to stay on with the club in the Championship next season.
