Jermaine Defoe makes telling contribution

After fellow striker Danny Graham kicked off his Sunderland goalscoring career in his 28th game and after 28 months with the club, Defoe did what he has done to the tune of almost one goal for every two starts throughout his career.
Like Graham’s goal, Defoe’s had a large slice of luck as his knee and arm diverted Adam Johnson’s 85th minute shot past Tim Howard but Sunderland did not care in the slightest how and from where the goals came.
