Keane impressed with Black Cats’ ‘perseverance and desire’

SUNDERLAND manager Roy Keane praised the character of his side after an impressive 2-0 win at Leicester in the Coca-Cola Championship.

The Black Cats were made to wait but took the points with two goals in the space of four minutes from Tobias Hysen and David Connolly.

Only Leicester goalkeeper Paul Henderson prevented a much wider margin of victory for the visitors with a string of fine saves, while Sunderland also had 12 shots off-target.
