Sam Allardyce: We must beat Crystal Palace

Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce admits pressure is mounting ahead of tomorrow’s clash with Crystal Palace.

The Black Cats missed the chance to climb out of the relegation zone when they lost 1-0 at West Ham on Saturday.

They dominated the second-half but missed a host of chances to cancel out Michail Antonio’s 30th-minute strike, and Allardyce says they now face a must-win showdown with the Eagles.
