Van der Sar: We need to close gap

Edwin van der Sar left Sunderland bemoaning more dropped points having spared Manchester United further pain.

The 39-year-old Dutchman and his team-mates survived a burst sewage pipe in the their dressing room and a first-half onslaught on the pitch to head away from the Stadium of Light with a draw, their fourth in succession away from home in the Barclays Premier League.
