Managers join forces to praise Jones

Roy Keane and Harry Redknapp joined forces to heap praise upon Sunderland striker Kenwyne Jones after the striker’s influential performance in his side’s 2-0 win over Portsmouth.

Jones shrugged off the lingering effects of the knee injury which ruled him out of last week’s FA Cup defeat to Wigan to set up the first of Kieran Richardson’s two first-half goals.
