Poacher Jermain Defoe cashes in to earn first away win for Sunderland

Jermain Defoe picked Scott Dann’s pocket for a poacher’s finish to seal Sunderland’s 1-0 Premier League victory at Crystal Palace.

The former England striker nipped in between Dann and the onrushing goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey to secure the Black Cats’ first away win of the league campaign.

“People say if you work hard you get rewarded and I think you saw that. We got the luck we needed,” Defoe said.
