Keane: I want us to play like United and Arsenal

SUNDERLAND have two new heroes in Anthony Stokes and Jonny Evans, but manager Roy Keane warns that the Irish prodigies won’t win promotion on their own.

Republic of Ireland U-21 striker Stokes (18), marked his debut — following a £2m move from Arsenal — by setting up fellow countryman David Connolly for the only goal of Saturday’s gale-affected game against Ipswich at the Stadium of Light.

But Northern Ireland defender Evans, on loan from Manchester United and making his home bow, also played a pivotal role. Both Stokes and Evans, who is a year older, performed goalmouth clearances to preserve Sunderland’s lead.
