Sunderland win dedicated to Porterfield

Roy Keane dedicated Sunderland’s Premier League victory over Reading to FA Cup hero Ian Porterfield as his side ended its four-game losing run.

Goals from home debutant Kenwyne Jones and Ross Wallace – who was booked for removing his shirt after scoring for the third time in his career on Wearside - fired the Black Cats into a 2-0 lead with 47 minutes gone, and the game should have been well beyond the visitors as chances went begging.
